Hymn
Rejoice and Be Glad
Rejoice and be glad!
The Redeemer has come!
Go look on his cradle, his cross, his tomb.
Sound his praises, tell the Story
Of him who was slain;
Sound his praises, tell with gladness,
He liveth again.
Rejoice and be glad!
For the blood hath been shed;
Redemption is finished, the price hath been paid.
Rejoice and be glad!
For the Lamb that was slain
O'er death is triumphant, and liveth again.
Rejoice and be glad!
For our King is on high,
He pleadeth for us on his throne in the sky.
