Believing Souls, Rejoice and Sing

Author: John Swertner, 1746-1813 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #137 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Believing souls, rejoice and sing, Your risen Savior see, And say, “O death, where is thy sting! O grace, thy victory!” Rejoice, your conquering Savior lives, He lives to die no more; And life eternal freely gives, Since He our sorrows bore. 2 Sing praises to our risen Lord; Life, immortality, And lasting bliss are now restored For all, for you and me; Believe the wondrous deed, my soul, Adore His saving Name; Rejoice, ye saints, from pole to pole His love and power proclaim. 3 The Prince of glory bowed His head, Expiring on the Cross; But now the Lord is risen indeed, Is risen and lives for us; Rejoice, and in the dust adore The Lamb for sinners slain; He liveth now and evermore, For evermore to reign.
