F           G        C   Em
In these days of confused situations
         F            G           E/G#  Am
In these nights of a restless remorse
         F             C/E         Dm    C
When the heart and the soul of the nation
    F           C/E       Dm   G
Lay wounded and cold as a corpse
         F            G        C  Em
From the grave of the innocent Adam
         F            G          E/G# Am
Comes a song bringing joy to the sad
         F            C/E           Dm  C
Oh, your cry has been heard and the ransom
         F          G           F/C  C
Has been paid up in full, be ye glad

[Chorus]
          F
Oh, be ye glad
    G         F  C
Oh-ohh, be ye glad
      Am            D    Dm7 G
Every debt that you ever had
C         F         G           Am           D
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord
      Dm          Gsus        Csus  C
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad

[Verse 2]
             F         G        Cm     Em
Now from the dungeon a rumor is stirring
         F        G         E/G#  Am
You have heard it again and again
         F             C/E           Dm    C
Aah, but this time the cell keys are turning
       F              C/E      Dm7     G
And outside there are faces of friends
                F        G          C     Em
And though your body lay weary from wasting
         F             G               E/G#  Am
And your eyes show the sorrow they've had
       F              C/E          Dm     C
Oh the love that your heart is now tasting
    F          G            F/C  C
Has opened the gates, be ye glad

[Chorus]
          F
Oh, be ye glad
    G         F  C
Oh-ohh, be ye glad
      Am            D    Dm7 G
Every debt that you ever had
C         F         G           Am           D
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord
      Dm          Gsus        Csus  C
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad

[Verse 3]
           F             G          C    Em
So be like lights on the rim of the water
       F         G            E/G#  Am
Giving hope in a storm sea of night
     F       C/E       Dm     C
Be a refuge amidst the slaughter
         F         C/E      Dm7    G7
Of these fugitives in their flight
            F            G         C   Em
For you are timeless and part of a puzzle
        F           G          E/G# Am
You are winsome and young as a lad
          F       C/E         Dm     C
And there is no disease or no struggle
         F             G          F/C  C
That can pull you from God, be ye glad

[Chorus]
          F
Oh, be ye glad
    G         F  C
Oh-ohh, be ye glad
      Am            D    Dm7 G
Every debt that you ever had
C         F         G           Am           D
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord
      Dm          Gsus        Csus  C
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad

F  C
