BY HENRY M. MORRIS, PH.D.

"Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance" - (Psalm 89:15).

Many have been the Christians who have joined in singing "We have heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves; Jesus saves!"

Not all have known, however, that this beautiful phrase comes from a great psalm extolling God's marvelous works of creation and then His promises of redemption.

"The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fullness thereof, thou hast founded them. The north and the south thou hast created them" (Psalm 89:11-12).

Earlier verses note that "the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord" (verse 5), speaking of the angels, "the sons of the mighty" (verse 6), literally, "the sons of God."

It is exciting to realize that the very first "joyful sound" was heard when God "laid the foundations of the earth."

Then it was that "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38:4,7).

There was also a joyful sound when Christ was born, and the angel came bringing "good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born . . . a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. . . . And suddenly there was . . . the heavenly host praising God" (Luke 2:10-11,13).

Whenever a soul is saved, there is another joyful sound: "Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth," said Jesus (Luke 15:7).

Finally, there will be a most wonderful sound of joy on Earth when the Lord comes again.

"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away" (Isaiah 35:10).

Therefore, even now, "my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in His salvation" (Psalm 35:9).

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to how the universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has planned for us.

After 50 years of ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the context of biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists to conduct scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history, and then to educate the public both formally and informally through professional training programs, through conferences and seminars around the country, and through books, magazines, and media presentations.
