The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5771

5771. Rejoice, Rejoice, the Lost Is Found

1. Joyfully march along, and shout the song
To the earth’s remotest bound,
Salvation’s come, the wand’rer’s home.
The lost one now is found.
Rejoice! Rejoice! with heart and voice;
Repeat the welcome sound!

Refrain
With songs of joy, your tongues employ,
And repeat the welcome sound,
Salvation’s come! The wand’rer’s home,
The lost one now is found!

2. Wanderer far away from love today,
In the sea of sin so low,
A call from home now bids you Come,
Arise and say, I’ll go.
Your vacant chair is waiting there,
And raiment white as snow! [Refrain]

3. Joyfully angels bring the signet ring,
Of a Father’s pard’ning grace,
And royal fare, they now prepare,
Before His smiling face,
Away with fears! away with tears!
Receive His fond embrace! [Refrain]

4. Heavenly home! sweet home!
How sweet to roam
Thro’ thy realm of beauty rare,
With angel throng, join in a song
Of joy beyond compare.
Redeemer! King! forever sing
The loved ones gathered there! [Refrain]
