Rejoice! rejoice! there’s joy today
In the land beyond the river;
Another gem for His diadem,
A star to shine forever.

Has learned redemption’s story;
Good news! good news that another voice
Will sing His praise in glory. [Refrain]

Will show the power of Jesus,
Will prove the might of the saving grace
Which daily, hourly frees us. [Refrain]

Another guide to lead straying feet
Where living streams are flowing. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Good news! good news of a soul redeemed]
