Rejoice! Rejoice, Believers

Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Sarah Borthwick Findlater Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 334 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice! Rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising And soon He will draw nigh; Up, watch with expectation, At the midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lamps are burning, Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The marriage feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Arise, O heirs of glory, The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, Above this shadowed sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee!

It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto Me, ye wanderers,, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But He hath brought us gladness And songs, the break of day. 3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife! The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out." O welcome voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt; Which calls us, very sinners, Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless, To come, dear Lord, to Thee! Amen.

Dark, dark, hath been the midnight, but dayspring is at hand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 2 The King there in his beauty without a veil is seen; it were a well-spent journey though sev'n deaths lay between! The Lamb, with his fair army, doth on Mount Zion stand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment my web of time he wove, and aye the dews of sorrow were lustered by his love; I'll bless the hand that guided; I'll bless the heart that planned; and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land.
