247.  Rejoice And Be Glad

1
Rejoice and be glad!
The Redeemer has come!
Go look on his cradle, his cross and his tomb.

Chorus
Sound his praises, tell the story
Of him who was slain;
Sound his praises, tell with gladness,
He liveth again.

2
Rejoice and be glad!
It is sunshine at last!
The clouds have departed, the shadows are past.

3
Rejoice and be glad!
For the blood hath been shed,
Redemption is finished, the price hath been paid.

4
Rejoice and be glad!
Now the pardon is free;
The just for the unjust hath died on the tree.

5
Rejoice and be glad!
For the Lamb that was slain
O’er death is triumphant, and liveth again.

6
Rejoice and be glad!
For our King from on high
Has come for his jewels, his Kingdom is nigh.

7
Rejoice and be glad!
For he cometh to reign
In triumph and glory; O sing the glad strain.
