“Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.”
LET us rejoice! for our Jesus is risen:
He robbed by His death even death of its sting;
He rolled back the stone from the grave's gloomy prison,-
His mighty achievements aloud let us sing.
The guilt of our sins on the cross He endured,
He spoiled all our foes of their terror and might;
His vict'ry our peace and salvation secured,
And then He ascended the regions of light.
Let us rejoice! He in glory is seated;
As man He now sits on the throne whence He came;
The work of redemption on earth He completed,
The heavens resound with His deeds and His
There all His goodness for us is providing
Stores for our need, as we journey along;
Hourly we find, while in Jesus abiding,
Strength for our weakness, and joys for our song.
Let us rejoice, for our Lord is preparing
His church for Himself, for His Father's abode;
Why should we fear, while our Shepherd is caring
For all that His ransomed can meet on their road?
Soon with a shout of glad triumph descending,
He will appear to conduct us above;
Radiant with glory, to meet Him ascending,
We’ll fill the wide heavens with songs of His love.
