| And in these days of confused situations And in these nights of a restless 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 All you cries have 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 From the dungeon a rumor is stirring We have heard it again and again But this time the cell keys are turning And outside there are faces of friends And though your body lay weary from wasting And your eyes show the sorrow they've had The love that your heart is now tasting 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 For these fugitives in their flight For you are timeless and part of a puzzle And 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 |
