Chorus: God is! Rejoice! Let all the people sing together in one voice: God is! Rejoice! Again I say, Rejoice! God is known in the sun, in the billions of stars, in the earth, in the silent sea; God is known in the hands with the ugly scars Reaching out to us tenderly. Chorus Far beyond all the rush, all the clutter, the crime, And our lost honesty and shame, There's God's justice, there's peace, and with work and time All will know what we now proclaim: Chorus Out of dull, weary days, out of long restless nights, Full of doubt, frantic and alone, We shall rise from despair to exalted heights With a Lord who is named and known.
