Rejoice, and let Christ be thy song

Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:10 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, and let Christ be thy song, For he is thy All and in All; He leads my soul safely along, In spite of the world, sin, or thrall; Though poor in myself, yet in him I’ve riches immense and divine; Nor can I be brought guilty in, For Jesus, my Lord, paid the fine. 2 Once I was enveloped in debt, My poor mind was burdened with sin, And strove hard to make matters straight, That I the Lord’s favour might win! But ah! my soul laboured in vain, And only the debt did increase, Which greatly increasèd my pain, And filled me with shame and disgrace. 3 I looked to the law for some help, And hoped it some mercy would show; But O, my soul trembled, and felt The law could but doom me to woe, I saw it too just to forgive; Too holy at sin to connive; Then speechless I stood, as if dead, Nor did I expect a reprieve. 4 But while I stood trembling with fear, The Saviour of sinners came in, Who smiled, and said, “Be of good cheer, I surely will save thee from sin; I’m Jesus, the First and the Last; Thy debts have been chargèd on me – The future, the present, the past – And thou shalt for ever go free.” Topics: Christ All and In All
