Rejoicing with You in Jesus!

Rejoicing with you; my dear precious love—
Through the gift we are given from Heaven above.
His tender compassion's we're made to behold,
In the midst of His glory, His story is told.

CHORUS
"Rejoicing in Jesus, our Lord and our God,
We walk by His mercy, upholding His rod.
His Word ever clearer, His voice ever near;
We call on His Spirit, to guide and to cheer.

Our faith never failing, His faithfulness sure,
His grace so sufficient, His love ever pure.
The seal of His Spirit doth teach us to trust,
His bold intercession shows forth His lust.

(Chorus)

To bring us to Jesus, made perfect in Him,
We'll praise Him forever in psalm and in hymn.
Oh, be now encouraged—we’re held in His hand,
In certain assurance, made able to stand.

(Chorus)

So now to the task in this day we are giv’n,
And give Him the glory in the land of the liv’n.
Seeking His sheep who have strayed from the fold.
Filled with His Spirit, we are made bold.

"Rejoicing in Jesus, our Lord and our God,
We walk by His mercy, upholding His rod.
His Word ever clearer, His voice ever near;
We call on His Spirit, to guide and to cheer."
