Be Ye Glad Songtext
von Debby Boone

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.
