Believing Souls, Rejoice and Sing

lyricist: John Swertner, 1789
Composer: William Croft, 1708

Believing souls

re­joice and sing

Your ris­en Sav­ior see

And say

O death

here is thy sting!

O grave

thy vic­to­ry?

Rejoice

your con­quer­ing Sav­ior lives

He lives to die now more;

And life eter­nal free­ly gives

Since He our sor­rows bore.

Sing prais­es to our ris­en Lord;

Life

im­mor­tal­ity

And last­ing bliss are now re­stored

For all

for you and me;

Believe the won­drous deed

my soul

Adore His sav­ing name;

Rejoice

ye saints

from pole to pole

His love and pow­er pro­claim.

The Prince of glo­ry bowed His head

Expiring on the cross;

But now the Lord is ris­en indeed

Is ris­en and lives for us;

Rejoice

and in the dust adore

The Lamb for sin­ners slain;

He liv­eth now and ev­er­more

For ev­er­more to reign.
