REJOICE FOR CHRIST HAS COME

Rejoice, rejoice, for Christ has come

and all have seen his salvation.

O sing to God new songs of praise

For all the wonders he's worked for us.

His hand has won him victory,

His arm has brought us salvation.

The Lord has shown his saving power,

Revealed his justice to all mankind,

Remembering his truth and love,

His mercy for his own people.

The furthest corners of the earth

Have seen how mightily God can save.

Let all the earth acclaim the Lord,

Let all be mirth and rejoicing.

Sing joyful praises to the Lord,

With harp and zither make melody,

With trumpets and the sound of horns,

To God, the King of creation.

Let ocean thunder with its waves,

The world and all that within it dwell.

Let all the rivers shout for joy,

The hills, the mountains together.

Exult, the Lord is drawing near,

He comes to reign over all the earth,

The world with justice he will rule

And all the people with fairness.
