begins
immediately.

The
Lord
has
turned
my
mourning
into
dancing,
He
has
clothed
my
soul
with
joy.
Every
tear
has
found
its
ending,
Now
my
heart
His
praise
employs.
He
has
broken
every
chain,
He
has
taken
all
my
pain.
With
a
grateful
heart
I'll
sing,
Jesus
Christ,
my
Lord
and
King. (
Supporting
choir
enters
softly
behind
the
lead.)
Lift
your
voice,

hear,
Cast
away
every
doubt
and
fear.
Our
Redeemer
lives
today,
Come
and
praise
His
holy
Name. (

strong.
Let
the

hear
our
praise,
We'll
worship
Him
all
our
days. (
Lead

returns
with
lighter
instrumentation.)
From
the
valleys
to
the
mountains,
His
goodness
never
ends.
Every
blessing
keeps
reminding
me,
He's
my
Father
and
my
Friend.
When
I
call
upon
His
Name,
He
is
always
just
the
same.
Faithful
through
eternity,
His
great
love
has
rescued
me. (
Choir
gradually
builds
with
hand
claps
and
joyful
responses.)
Let
the
trumpet
sound
aloud,
Let
every
tongue
confess.
Jesus
reigns
in
majesty,
The
Author
of
our
righteousness.
Dance
before
the
King
of
kings,
Lift
your
hands
and
gladly
sing.
Every
tribe
and
every
nation,
Join
the
joyful
celebration. (

There's

Jesus
opened
heaven's
door.
From
generation
unto
generation,
We'll
declare
His
salvation. (
Joyful
