Rejoice in the Lord

Verse 1

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, All ye that are upright in heart; And ye that have made him your choice, Bid sadness and sorrow depart.

Chorus

Rejoice, rejoice! Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!

Verse 2

What though in the conflict for right Your enemies almost prevail, God’s armies, just hid from your sight, Are more than the foes which assail.

Verse 3

Though darkness surround you by day, Your sky by the night be o’ercast, Let nothing your spirit dismay, But trust till the danger is past.

Verse 4

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, His praises proclaiming in song; Acclaim him with trumpet and voice, The loud hallelujahs prolong.
