O Sing Aloud to God Our Strength
Psalm 81

O sing aloud to God our strength,
With joy lift up your voice;
To Jacob's God all raise a shout,
And let your heart rejoice.

Now bring your instruments of praise,
This joyful psalm to sing;
The pleasant harp, the lute most sweet,
And let the timbrel ring.

The time has come, the trumpet blow,
Announce this festal day;
The statute of our solemn feast,
We joyfully obey.

O come you people, heed God's voice,
And walk in all His ways;
He turns His hand against our foes,
Subdues our enemies.

The Lord is good, He shall supply,
Now open your mouth wide;
He with the choicest foods shall feed,
Till all are satisfied.
