I really miss singing all those scripture songs too. For everyone who hasn’t sung this song, I’ve put the counts and notes above each word so you can sing along:
10 1 0 101 0 1 0 1 0 1010

P.S. I always liked the “trees of the field will clap their hands” so I just had to look up the reference”:
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12
Which as I remember went like:
