Premiere performance by the 2016 OAKE National Children's Choir, Elizabeth Núñez, director.

Sing Joyfully
Sing joyfully to
God our strength;
sing loud unto the
God of Jacob!
Take the song,
bring forth
the timbrel,
the pleasant harp,
and the viol.
Blow the trumpet

even in the time
appointed,
and at our
feast day.
... moreSing joyfully to

For this is a
statute for Israel,
and a law of the
God of Jacob.
