Let all the Lord's bairns praise Him, And let us appropriate the truth of His faith.

2And His children shall be acknowledged by Him; Therefore let us sing in His love:

3We live in the Lord by His grace; And life we receive in His Messiah.

4For a great day has shined upon us; And marvellous is He who hath given us of His glory.

5Let us, therefore, all of us unite together in the name of the Lord: And let us honour Him in His goodness:

6And let our faces shine in His light; And let our hearts meditate in His love, By night and by day.

7Let us exult with the joy of the Lord.

8All those that see me will be astonished; For from another race am I.

9For the Father of Truth remembered me: He who possessed me from the beginning.

10For his riches begat me, And the thought of His heart:

11And His Word is with us in all our way, The Saviour who makes alive and does not reject our souls:

12The man who was humbled, And was exalted by His own righteousness;

13The Son of the Most High appeared In the perfection of His Father;

14And light dawned from the Word That was beforetime in Him;

15The Messiah is truly one; And He was known before the foundations of the world, That He might save souls for ever by the truth of His name:

16Let a new song arise to the Lord from them that love Him. Hallelujah.
