Be Ye Glad

In these days of confused situations
 In these nights of a reckless remorse
 When the heart and the soul of a nation
 Lay wounded and cold as a corpse
 From the grave of the innocent Adam
 Comes a song bringing joy to the sad
 Oh, your cry has been heard and the ransom
 Has been paid up in full
 Be ye glad
 Oh, be ye glad
 Oh, be ye glad
 Every debt that you ever had
 Has been paid up in full
 By the grace of the Lord
 Be ye glad
 Be ye glad
 Be ye glad
 Now from your dungeon
 A rumour is stirring
 And your eyes show
 The sorrow they've had
 Ah, but this time
 The cell keys they're turning
 He has opened the gates
 Be ye glad
 Oh, be ye glad
 Oh, be ye glad
 Every debt that you ever had
 Has been paid up in full
 By the grace of the Lord
 Be ye glad
 Be ye glad
 Be ye glad
 So be like lights on the rim of the water
 Giving hope in a storm sea of night
 Be a refuge amidst the slaughter
 Of these fugitives in their flight
 For you are timeless and part of a puzzle
 You are winsome and young as a lad
 And there is no disease or no struggle
 That can pull you from God
 Be ye glad
 Oh, be ye glad
 Oh, be ye glad
 Every debt that you ever had
 Has been paid up in full
 By the grace of the Lord
 Be ye glad
 Be ye glad
 Be ye glad.
