1 The great Deliv’rer long foretold
In ages past by seers of old
Has come the captive to set free,
And bring the glorious jubilee.

Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice,
Behold the promised Savior;
Rejoice, rejoice,
The Prince of Peace has come.

2 He comes the sinner to redeem,
And rescue from the power of sin;
He comes the lost to seek and save,
He comes to triumph o’er the grave. [Refrain]

3 O Zion! lift thy raptured eye,
The long expected hour is nigh;
The joys of nature rise again,
The Prince of Salem comes to reign. [Refrain]
