G               Em        Am        D 
To God in gladness sing, how great his name! 
     G      F   E          Am         D 
Give thanks to him for his marvellous deeds,  
    G  B7 Em      D7  G 
Allelu    ia, Allelu  ia! 
 
   G              C                          G 
He came among his people, He dwelt among the poor, 
                    C            A7            D7 
He chose of all the weakest, the humblest to befriend. 
 
     G                    C                                G 
Like rain that falls from heaven and makes the earth bring forth, 
                      C            A7                D7 
His word our hearts refreshes, His law our life transforms. 
 
   G             C                                 G 
No longer are we servants, His friends each one he calls. 
                    C         A7                  D7 
He brings us to his table, to share his bread and wine. 
 
    G                    C                         G 
The Light that shines in darkness, the Victor over death, 
               C           A7                D7 
He enters into glory; like him, we too shall rise. 
 
    G                  C                       G 
The flame of love, his Spirit, the Universe pervades. 
                     C       A7             D7 
Through him a new creation begins and never ends.
