Rejoice in God! let trumpets sound in witness to the world around, his faithfulness proclaim; who led his people by the hand and brought them to their promised land that all the earth should understand the greatness of his Name. Rejoice in God, the God of grace, and come with thanks before his face for all his tender care; whose mercy meets us in our need, whose word of life is life indeed, on whom, in Christ, our spirits feed, who loves to answer prayer. Rejoice in God whose only Son a fallen world's salvation won and broke the sinner's chain. He came in love to seek and save when for us all his life he gave, and then from cross and death and grave triumphant rose again. Rejoice in God and for him build a living temple, Spirit-filled, of everlasting worth; a church united, true and strong, where all who love the Lord belong, and find in him their strength and song, the joy of all the earth. Rejoice in God! your voices raise in honour, blessing, love and praise to his eternal throne; that every heart, with one accord, and every tongue may tell abroad the loving-kindness of the Lord, and make his glory known.
