O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly Composer(s): Christian Keimann
Hallelujah
Oh rejoice, ye Christians, loudly For your joy is now begun Wondrous things our God hath done Tell abroad His goodness proudly Who our race hath honour'd thus That he deigns to dwell with us
Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow and repining For the Son of grace is shining
See, my soul, thy Saviour chooses Weakness here and poverty In such love He comes to thee Nor the hardest couch refuses All He suffers for thy good To redeem thee by His blood
Joy, then, joy beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow and repining For the Sun of grace is shining
Lord, how thall I thank Thee rightly I acknowledge that from Thee Every blessing flows to me Let me not forget it lightly But to Thee through all things cleave So shall heart and mind receive
Joy, yea, joy beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow, all repining For the Sun of grace is shining
Jesu, guard and guide Thy members Fill Thy brethren with Thy grace Hear their prayers in every place Quicken now life's faintest embers Grant all Christians, far and near Holy peace, a glad New Year
Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow, all repining For the Sun of grace is shining
