Rejoice in the Lord while going the way The Savior has trodden before; Rejoice in the Lord though darkens the day, ‘Tis only a cloud passing o’er.

‘Tis only a cloud passing over the way, ‘Tis only a cloud passing o’er; Rejoice in the Lord, tho’ darkens the day, ‘Tis only a cloud passing o’er.

Rejoice in the Lord your Captain and King, ‘Tis glorious his fol’wer to be; Though troubles may rise, His goodness still sing, For soon the dark shadows will flee.

Be happy in God, his promise is true, His mercies will ever endure; The Savior will guide, He still is with you, Though doubting his presence obscure.

Verse 4

Rejoice in the Lord, what blessings of love For glad, grateful hearts are in store, Rejoice in the shade, there’s sunlight above, Rejoice in the Lord evermore.
