*Hymn of Praise "Let's Sing unto the Lord"
Let's sing unto the Lord
a hymn of glad rejoicing.
let's sing a hymn of love,
at the new day's fresh beginning.
God made the sky above,
the stars, the sun, the oceans;
and God saw it was good,
for those works were filled with beauty.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let's sing unto the Lord.
Alleluia!

On the rough side of the mountain
I’m doing my best to make it in
