Come and rejoice with me

Representative Text

1 Come and rejoice with me,
For once my heart was poor,
But I have found a treasury
Of love, a boundless store.

2 Come and rejoice with me;
I, once so sick at heart,
Have met with one who knows my case,
And knows the healing art.

3 Come and rejoice with me,
For I was wearied sore,
But I have found a mighty arm
Which holds me evermore.

4 Come and rejoice with me,
For I have found a friend
Who knows my heart’s most secret depths,
Yet loves me without end.
