Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice

Rejoice in the Lord always. Phil.4:4

1.  Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
    All ye that are upright in heart,
    And ye that have made him your choice
    Bid sadness and sorrow depart.

Chorus:
    Rejoice! Rejoice!
    Rejoice in the Lord and rejoice,
    Rejoice! rejoice!
    Rejoice in the Lord rejoice.

2. Be joyful, for He is the lord,
    On earth and in heaven supreme;
    He fashions and rules by His word;
    The 'Mighty' and " Strong'' to redeem

3. What though in the conflict for right
    Your enemies almost prevail!
    God's armies, just hid from your sight,
    Are more than the foes which assail.

4. Though darkness surround you by day,
    Your sky by the night be o'er cast
    Let nothing your spirit dismay,
    But trust till the danger is past.

5. Be glad in the lord and rejoice,
    His praise proclaiming in song;
    With harp, and with organ, and voice,
    The loud hallelujahs prolong!

Amen.
