1. Clap your hands, all you nations shout to God.
Clap your hands, all you nations shout to God.
Clap your hands, all you nations shout to God.
All you nations sing a song to the Lord most high.

2. Lord most high, reigning over all the earth.
Lord most high, reigning over all the earth.
Lord most high, reigning over all the earth.
Every nation praises God with a joyful shout.

3. With a shout, God has gone up with a shout.
With a shout, God has gone up with a shout.
With a shout, God has gone up with a shout.
Songs and shouts and trumpet blasts praise the King of kings.

4. King of kings, nations bow before his throne.
King of kings, nations bow before his throne.
King of kings, nations bow before his throne.
Sing a song of praise to God. Sing and clap your hands.
