1 Church, rejoice!
Raise your voice,
sing Jehovah’s worthy praise;
extol his name forever;
laud him, our God and Savior;
proclaim to ev'ry nation
the tidings of salvation;
bear the witness
to his greatness;
spread the story
of his glory
to the earth’s remotest bounds.

2 Church, unite
for the right;
let your foes behold your stand;
rebuke them for their error;
inspire with hope and fervor;
declare the Savior’s merit
and how the Holy Spirit
by his power,
ev'ry hour,
will direct us
and protect us
in a world of sin and strife.

3 Church, go forth
o’er the earth;
Christ, your head, has hallowed you,
a chosen bride forever,
adorned now for our Savior;
be strong and be not cheerless,
and may your saints be fearless;
in all places,
with all races,
may that story
of his glory
be the hope of all the world.
