Gospel Herald in Song ‎#90

90. Rejoice, Rejoice!

1 God’s own armor, for our use is shining in His Word,
“Shield of Faith” with helmet gleaming, spirit’s giltt’ring sword;
With these weapons we will fight the battle’s of the Lord,—
Till our God, in heav’n, shall crown us.

Refrain:
Rejoice! rejoice! O let our voices ring!
Rejoice! rejoice! We’re going to see the King.
In that world of peace and joy where holy angels sing,
There God Himself will crown us.

2 Though the fierce, relentless foe on ev’ry hand we meet,
We will tread them ev’ry one as dust beneath our feet;
By the help of Christ we’ll win a victory complete;
And our God, in heav’n, will crown us. [Refrain]

3 Though the conflict may be long, the foe will strike in vain,
Soon upon the field of strife they’ll lie among the slain.
More than conquerors thro’ Christ we’ll rise with Him to reign,
Then our God, in heav’n, will crown us. [Refrain]
