A Joyful Noise
Words by Psalm 100, adaptedMusic by Jacob Narverud
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Story Behind the Song
A Joyful Noise is a contemporary choral anthem by American composer Jacob Narverud, not a standard historic congregational hymn. The title and text are drawn from the biblical call in Psalm 100 to make a joyful noise to the Lord, a passage often used for festival and praise music. Standard hymn references do not document it as a public-domain hymn with a traditional tune name.
