Rejoice in Christ Alway

Verse 1

Rejoice in God alway; When earth looks heavenly bright, When joy makes glad the livelong day, And peace shuts in the night.

Verse 2

Rejoice when care and woe The fainting soul oppress; When tears at wakeful midnight flow, And morn brings heaviness.

Verse 3

Rejoice in hope and fear; Rejoice in life and death; Rejoice when threatening storms are near, And comfort languisheth.

Verse 4

So, though our path is steep, And many a tempest lowers, Our Father will our footsteps keep, And his dear love be ours.
