CCXLI. Rejoice evermore

1 Rejoice evermore
With Angels above,
In Jesus's Pow'r,
In Jesus's Love;
With glad Exaltation
Your Triumph proclaim,
Ascribing Salvation
To God, and the Lamb.

2 Thou, Lord, our Relief
In Trouble hast been,
Hast sav'd us from Grief,
Hast sav'd us from Sin,
The Pow'r of thy Spirit
Can set our Hearts free:
And we shall inherit
All Fulness in thee.

3 All Fulness of Peace,
All Fulness of Joy,
And spiritual Bliss
That never can Cloy,
To us it is given
In Jesus to know,
A Kingdom of Heaven,
A Heaven below.

4 No longer we join
Where Sinners invite,
Nor envy the Swine
Their Brutish Delight;
Their Joy is all Sadness,
Their Mirth is all vain,
Their Laughter is Madness,
Their Pleasure is Pain.

5 O may they at last
With Sorrow Return,
The Pleasure to taste,
For which thy were born!
Our Jesus receiving,
Our Happiness prove,
The Joy of believing,
The Heaven of Love.
