1 Rejoice! ye saints, again rejoice,
And sing, with one accord;
Rejoice with all your heart and voice,
In Christ your risen Lord.
Refrain:
Rejoice (in the Lord), rejoice in the Lord
Rejoice in the Lord alway;
Rejoice (in the Lord), rejoice in the Lord,
And again I say, rejoice.
2 Rejoice! rejoice! lift up your head,
And praise the living God;
That for your souls the Savior shed
His own most precious blood. [Refrain]
3 Rejoice! rejoice! let praise abound
Before Jehovah’s throne;
For dead ones raised, and lost ones found,
And prodigals brought home. [Refrain]
4 Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord will come,
According to His word,
And gather all His ransomed home,
Forever with the Lord. [Refrain]
