The Joyful Sound.

BLEST are the souls that hear and know The gospel's joyful sound; Peace shall attend the path they go, And light their steps surround.

Their joy shall bear their spirits up Through their Redeemer's name; His right'ousness exalts their hope, Nor Satan dares condemn.

The Lord, our glory and defense, Strength and salvation gives; Israel, thy King forever reigns, Thy God forever lives.
