Lead sheet (piano/vocal chart) for the song “Psalm 96 (Rejoice in Hope)” as performed by NAOBC Worship.

Verse 1
Sing to the Lord, all voices shout
The praises of our King!
Rejoice in hope, exalt His name;
Let hymns of blessing ring!
Tell all the nations of His love—
His works we must acclaim!
The Lord is great! O give Him praise;
His glory now proclaim!

Verse 2
The gods of earth are worthless, vain;
They only bring death near.
The Lord alone who made the heav’ns
Is rightly to be feared.
Behold the splend’rous purity
Of His majestic throne.
He reigns unrivaled in His strength,
And makes His life our own.

Verse 3
Oh, fam’lies of all peoples bow,
Ascribe to Him all might!
Your off’rings bring into His courts;
His honors now recite.
The faithful Judge has justified—
O tremble, all the earth!
Exalt the Lord in holiness;
Declare His matchless worth!

Verse 4
He’ll judge the world in righteousness
With wisdom, truth, and grace;
The earth holds fast, it shall not move
Upheld in His embrace.
Let nations sing, the earth rejoice,
The sea and all the fields!
Before the King all knees will bow;
He is our Sun and Shield!

Tag
Let nations sing, the earth rejoice,
The sea and all the fields!
Before the King all knees will bow;
He is our Sun and Shield!
He is our Sun and Shield!
He is our Sun and Shield!
