Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Christian Worship (2008) #733 (2008) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.8.6 First Line: Rejoice in God! Let trumpets sound Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God! Let trumpets sound
In witness to the world around,
His faithfulness proclaim;
Who led his people by the hand
And brought them to their promised land
That all the earth should understand
The greatness of his name.
2 Rejoice in God, the God of grace,
And come with thanks before his face
For all his tender care;
Whose mercy meets us in our need,
Whose Word of Life is life indeed,
On whom, in Christ, our spirits feed,
Who loves to answer prayer.
3 Rejoice in God whose only Son
A fallen world’s salvation won
And broke the sinner’s chain.
He came in love to seek and save
When for us all his life he gave,
And then from cross and death and grave
Triumphant rose again.
4 Rejoice in God and for him build
A living temple, Spirit-filled,
Of everlasting worth;
A church united, true and strong,
Where all who love the Lord belong,
And find in him their strength and song,
The joy of all the earth.
5 Rejoice in God! Your voices raise
In honor, blessing, love, and praise
To his eternal throne;
That ev’ry heart, with one accord,
And ev’ry tongue may tell abroad
The loving-kindness of the Lord
And make his glory known. Topics: Worship and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: MT. GRETNA
