Rejoice in the Lord always

Representative Text

1 The Lord forever reigneth,
Let all the earth be glad;
He right and truth maintaineth,
Then why should we be sad.

Chorus:
Rejoice in the Lord always,
Always, always, always,
Rejoice in the Lord always,
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.

2 Jesus the Saviour liveth,
Though once for sinners slain,
And life eternal giveth,
The purchase of His pain. [Chorus]

3 Trust in the loving Saviour,
Then grief and loss and pain
Will only work together
For your eternal gain. [Chorus]

4 Then as you onward journey,
Rejoicing praise your King,
Till with the hosts in glory
You nobler anthems sing. [Chorus]
