Come, people of the Risen King,
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.
REFRAIN
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!
Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!
Come, young and old from every land -
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands -
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world, His people sing -
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all”!
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!

Thank you, Amy. That song is new to me and I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteIt was new to me, too. I get email updates from the Getty's. I LOVE their cd, which I consider a "must have" for everyone. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful, Amy. Thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I could find that online - the music at www.gettymusic.com isn't 'readable' even after paying to print it. Great lyrics and tune.
ReplyDeleteI searched for lyrics to this song, and your site came up second in google, nice work!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the worship team at church, and we are doing this tomorrow. Thanks for the lyrics so I could practice! :)
