1 Rejoice today with one accord,
sing out with exultation;
rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
whose arm hath brought salvation.
His works of love proclaim
the greatness of his name;
for he is God alone,
who hath his mercy shown:
let all his saints adore him!
2 When in distress to him we cried
he heard our sad complaining;
O trust in him. what'er betide,
his love is all-sustaining.
Triumphant songs of praise
to him our hearts shall raise:
now every voice shall say,
"O praise our God alway";
let all his saints adore him!

Rejoice to-day with one accord. Sir H. W. Baker. [General Thanksgiving.] Contributed to the first edition of Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1861, and continued in the revised edition of 1875. It is also repeated in a large number of hymn-books both at home and abroad. It is justly regarded as a good example of the author's jubilant style.
