O For a Shout of Sacred Joy from Psalm 47 Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

ANGELS SHOUT (C.M.) Mitch Cervinka 2001 Score

O for a shout of sa-cred joy
   To God the sov-ereign King!
Let ev-ery land their tongues em-ploy,
   And hymns of tri-umph sing.

Je-sus our God as-cends on high,
   His heav-enly guards a-round
At-tend Him ris-ing through the sky,
   With trump-et's joy-ful sound.

While an-gels shout and praise their King,
   Let mor-tals learn their strains;
Let all the earth His hon-our sing;
   O'er all the earth He reigns.

Re-hearse His praise with awe pro-found,
   Let know-ledge lead the song,
Nor mock Him with a sol-emn sound
   Up-on a thought-less tongue.
