Rejoice, Rejoice, the Lost Is Found

Joyfully march along

and shout the song

To the earth’s re­mot­est bound

Salvation’s come

the wan­der­er’s home.

The lost one now is found.

Rejoice! Rejoice! with heart and voice;

Repeat the wel­come sound!

With songs of joy

your tongues em­ploy

And re­peat the wel­come sound

Salvation’s come! The wan­der­er’s home

The lost one now is found!

Wanderer far away from love to­day

In the sea of sin so low

A call from home now bids you Come

Arise and say

I’ll go.

Your va­cant chair is wait­ing there

And rai­ment white as snow!

Joyfully an­gels bring the sig­net ring

Of a Fa­ther’s par­don­ing grace

And roy­al fare

they now pre­pare

Before His smil­ing face

Away with fears! away with tears!

Receive His fond em­brace!

Heavenly home! sweet home!

How sweet to roam

Thro’ thy realm of beau­ty rare

With an­gel throng

join in a song

Of joy be­yond com­pare.

Re­deem­er! King! for­ev­er sing

The loved ones ga­thered there!
