Brothers and sisters gather in the church; we sing joyfully and dance in praise of God.
Praise God who has become flesh and come to the world to express the truth and to save us.

When brothers and sisters meet, we feel close to each other, and our joy is inexpressible.
We fellowship on God’s words and share our experiences; understanding the truth brings such enjoyment to our spirits.
No rituals, no regulations—all is free and liberated!
We enjoy God’s words and live before Him; with joyful singing and laughter, it is a joy without end.
III
Brothers and sisters experience God’s work; we accept and submit to His judgment and chastisement.
We cast off our deceit and become honest. We love each other without barriers.
We submit to the truth and don’t act on feelings. Through judgment, our corruption is cleansed.
We enjoy God’s words and live before Him; with joyful singing and laughter, it is a joy without end.

Brothers and sisters, rise up; let us be of one mind in the fulfillment of our duties.
Let us spread the kingdom gospel and bear witness to God, so that His intentions may be satisfied.
Brothers and sisters sing joyfully together, voices raised in praise are so loud and clear.
We enjoy God’s words and live before Him; with joyful singing and laughter, it is a joy without end.
