Children of the heavenly Father,
Ransomed by the blood of Jesus,
Called by His grace now to gather,
And in Him have life’s sweet treasures.
(Refrain:)
Rejoice in the Lord always,
In ev’ry need make known your pray’rs;
In all that you do or say,
Rejoice, Rejoice, and evermore give thanks.
(Verse 2:)
Though the clouds are hanging o’er us,
And the waves of fear are rising,
Still the mighty arm of Jesus
Every dark’ning cloud disperses.
(Verse 3:)
Looking up in grateful wonder,
And with love our Savior praising,
We will tell the story over,
Till with ev’ry tongue He’s praising.
(Refrain:)
Rejoice in the Lord always,
In ev’ry need make known your pray’rs;
In all that you do or say,
Rejoice, Rejoice, and evermore give thanks.
