Sing to the Lord a song of gladness, sing to the Lord a song of joy.

Sing to the Lord for He is gracious. Sing to the Lord a song of joy!

Lift your voices, sound the trumpet, strike the cymbal, play upon the pipe.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, sing hallelujah, praise the Lord!

Gloria in excelsis Deo, sing hallelujah, praise the Lord!
