Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Let the mountains shout for joy! Let the valleys sing, let the valleys sing and the hills rejoice, rejoice. Let them all break forth into song; let them shout and sing, let them shout and sing, and be glad before the Lord, let them shout, let them sing, and be glad before the Lord, and be glad before the Lord.
2. For the wilderness has blossomed, blossomed like a rose, and the barren desert is a fruitful field; joy and gladness now are found there in thanksgiving and the voice of melody, thanksgiving and the voice of melody, thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Let the mountains shout for joy! Let the mountains shout for joy!
3. Let the mountains shout for joy! Let the valleys sing, let the valleys sing and the hills rejoice, rejoice. Let them all break forth into song; let them shout and sing, let them shout and sing, and be glad before the Lord, let them shout, let them sing, and be glad before the Lord, and be glad before the Lord.
