Be glad O people of the earth

Be glad, O people of the earth!
Lift up your heart with song and dance,
for I am with you, yes within you, forever:
you are the heart of my heart.

1. I will never forget you, O my people;
 on the day of anguish I will answer you.
As you join in celebration,
my joy will move among you. Chorus

2. You shall find a land to be your home,
 where sheep and cattle may freely roam,
 mountains from which springs
shall flow with living waters. Chorus

3. I will make your faith burn brightly,
 so that others may find life’s fullness:
 freedom for all captives
 and justice for all nations. Chorus
