G    A           A7  D
In these days of confused situations
         G      A        A7     Bm
In these nights of a restless remorse
D7       G             D         Em7  D
When the heart and the soul of a na - tion
    G                     A7
Lay wounded and cold as a corpse
D        G     A        A7     D
From the grave of the innocent Adam
        G    A            A7     F#
Comes a song bringing joy to the sad
       Bm           G             Em7   D
O your cry has been heard and the ran - som
         G          A7         D
Has been paid up in full be ye glad


[Chorus]
        Bm   A7    G     D
O be ye glad be ye glad
      Bm            E7        A7
Ev'ry debt that you ever had
D        G    A7    D
Has been paid up in full
       Bm7          E
By the grace of the Lord
      Em7        G/A        D
Be ye glad be ye glad be ye glad


[Verse 2]
              G  A        A7     D
Now from your dungeon a rumor is stirring
         G     A        A7   Bm
You have heard it again and again
D7     G             D                 Em7 D
Ah but this time the cell keys they're turning
       G                       A7
And outside there are faces of friends
    D           G A          A7      D
And though your body lays weary from wasting
         G    A           A7          F#
And your eyes show the sorrow they've had
      Bm             G            Em7 D
O the love that your heart is now tasting
    G          A7         D
Has open'd the gate be ye glad


[Chorus]
        Bm   A7    G     D
O be ye glad be ye glad
      Bm            E7        A7
Ev'ry debt that you ever had
D        G    A7    D
Has been paid up in full
       Bm7          E
By the grace of the Lord
      Em7        G/A        D
Be ye glad be ye glad be ye glad



[Verse 3]
           G      A          A7     D
So be like lights on the rim of the water
       G    A          A7     Bm
Giving hope in a storm of the night
D7   G       D         Em7   D
Be a refuge amidst the slaughter
         G                  A7
Of these fugitives in their flight
    D       G   A             A7   D
For you are timeless and part of a puzzle
        G  A              A7   F#
You are winsome and young as a lad
          Bm       G          Em7 D
And there is no disease or no struggle
         G             A7        D
That can pull you from God be ye glad


[Chorus]
        Bm   A7    G     D
O be ye glad be ye glad
      Bm            E7        A7
Ev'ry debt that you ever had
D        G    A7    D
Has been paid up in full
       Bm7          E
By the grace of the Lord
      Em7        G/A        D
Be ye glad be ye glad be ye glad
