We come with rejoicing

Representative Text

1 We come with rejoicing, thanksgiving, and song,
The notes of our anthem, let echo prolong:
To Him who redeemed us, and saved us from death,
We'll sing loudest praises, while He gives us breath.

Chorus:
The Lamb that was slain,
And liveth again,
We'll sing loudest praises,
To the Lamb that was slain.

2 The Lamb that was slain! our salvation is made!
In His spotless robes, are our spirits arrayed;
We need never fear, while on Him we rely,
He will help us to live, and prepare us to die. [Chorus]

3 Oh! Jesus our Saviour! the dearest and best,
On thee all our hopes for Eternity rest!
We love thee, we praise Thee, Thy name we adore,
To Thee all our thoughts and our wishes shall soar. [Chorus]
