Songs of Rejoicing

Songs of re­joic­ing now fall on our ears

Cheering our spir­its and sooth­ing our fears;

Hark! the new voic­es

in tune­ful ac­cord

Sound the high prais­es of Je­sus

our Lord.

Listen

O list­en

and hear the glad song

Nations and king­doms are waft­ing along;

Praise in the high­est with rap­ture they sing

Glory

all glo­ry to Je­sus

our king.

Lo! the sad si­lence is brok­en at last

Bright is the dawn­ing

the dark­ness is past;

Songs of re­demp­tion ring out on the air

Jesus has con­quered

His glo­ry de­clare.

Heralds of Je­sus have gone to pro­claim

Tidings of glad­ness and peace through His name;

Multitudes wait­ing for light from above

Hail the sweet mes­sage of light and of love.

Spread the good tid­ings

for all have not heard—

Prisoners of dark­ness await the glad word;

Voices now si­lent shall tune­ful­ly sing

Loud hal­le­lu­jahs to Je­sus our king.
