Rejoice, All Ye Believers

Author: Laurentius Laurenti Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 335 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh: Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,-- At midnight comes the cry! 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With allelujahs clear. The marriage feast is waiting; The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory, The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Used With Tune: HAF TRONES LAMPA FÄRDIG
