Tom: Bm
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
