Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #LXXII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Ye happy sinners hear,
The pris'ners of the Lord,
And wait, till Christ appear
According to his word;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.
2 The Lord our righteousness,
We have long since receiv'd;
Salvation nearer is
Than when we first believ'd;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.
3 In God we put our trust;
If we our sins confess,
Faithful he is, and just,
From all unrighteousness
To cleanse us all, both you and me;
We shall from all our sins be free.
4 Surely in us the hope
Of glory shall appear;
Sinners, your heads lift up,
And see redemption near;
Again I say, rejoice with me;
We shall from all our sins be free.
5 Who Jesu's suff'rings share,
My fellow-pris'ners now,
Ye soon the wreath shall wear
On your triumphant brow;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me
We shall from all our sins be free.
6 The word of God is sure,
And never can remove,
We shall in heart be pure,
And perfected in love:
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.
7 Then let us gladly bring
Our sacrifice of praise,
Let us give thanks, and sing
And glory in his grace:
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free. Topics: Petition Languages: English
