All You Nations, Sing Out Your Joy to the Lord CWB II 347

I’m into the general Easter songs in CWB II. I’ve already done:

346 Alleluia! Alleluia!

Which brings me to this chestnut from 1965 by Lucien Deiss. It is a lively 6/8 song with an interesting tune in the verses for the cantor, although doable for an assembly. It is one of the few songs in CWB II with a bit of life in it so I have to be happy with that. CWB II lacks the time signature and chords, which is poor considering it is a good song for guitar.

It can still be purchased from WLP. The text is at Cantus Mundi.

There are some painfully slow versions on YouTube. There is a snippet at WLP that gives a good idea of the tempo – don’t drag.
