Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers

Author: Laurentius Laurenti, 1660-1722; Sarah B. Findlater Hymnal: HS1998 #801 (1998) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The bridegroom is arising And soon is drawing nigh. Up, pray and watch and wrestle; At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the bridegroom near; Go forth as He approaches With alleluias clear. The marriage feast is waiting; The gates wide open stand. Arise, O heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand. 3 The saints, who here in patience Their cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb they shall behold; In triumph cast before Him Their diadems of gold. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, O 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 sets Your people free!

He comes with clouds descending, Once for ev'ry sinner slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him Robed in glorious majesty; Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing. Shall their true Messiah see. 3 Those dear tokens of His passion Still His dazzling body bears, Cause of endless exultation To His ransomed worshipers. With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea, amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom as Thine own. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone!
