Now Sing We, Now Rejoice

Author: Arthur T. Russell; Unknown Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6.5.5 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-14 Lyrics: 1 Now sing we, now rejoice, Now raise to heav'n our voice; He from whom joy streameth Poor in a manger lies; Not so brightly beameth The sun in yonder skies. Thou my Savior art! Thou my Savior art! 2 Come from on high to me; I cannot rise to thee. Cheer my wearied spirit, O pure and holy Child; Thro' Thy grace and merit, Blest Jesus, Lord most mild, Draw me unto Thee! Draw me unto Thee! 3 Now thro' His Son doth shine The Father's grace divine. Death o'er us had reigned Thro' sin and vanity; He for us obtained Eternal joy on high. May we praise Him there! May we praise Him there! 4 Oh, where shall joy be found? Where but on heav'nly ground? Where the angels singing With all His saints unite, Sweetest praises bringing In heav'nly joy and light, Oh, that we were there! Oh, that we were there! Amen.

Women on the road, from your sickness freed, witness and provide, joining word and deed: [Refrain] 4 Women on the hill, stand when men have fled; Christ needs loving still, though your hope is dead.

Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARKNESS
