Rejoice and Sing

Representative Text

1 Saints of God, rejoice and sing!
From the heart rejoice and sing!
Thro' the storms and strife, and the cares of life,
Rejoice, rejoice and sing.

2 God is love--rejoice and sing!
Look above--rejoice and sing!
Heaven's King extol, from a trusting soul
Rejoice, rejoice and sing.

3 Praise the Lord with glad acclaim,
Shout His worth and praise His name
To the new born King, let your praises ring.
Rejoice, rejoice and sing.

4 Let the morning give you cheer,
And the evening bring no fear;
For the God above is a God of love,
Rejoice, rejoice and sing.
