1. O praise the Lord with heart and voice,
With God’s own word your doubts destroy,
Let those that trust in Thee rejoice,
Yea, let them shout for joy.
Chorus:
Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord alway;
Rejoice, (Rejoice in the Lord,) rejoice in the Lord, (rejoice in the Lord,)
And again I say, Rejoice!
2. My life is hid with Thine, O Lord,
And sheltered form the world’s alarm;
Why should I sink beneath my load,
When leaning on Thine arm.
3. For nothing anxious I shall be,
But praying Thee in ev’rything,
With thanks for ev’ry gift from Thee,
My troubles all take wing.
4. The joys that mem’ry turns to pain;
I leave for joys that never end;
My loss I count my richest gain,
For Christ His joy doth send.
