Verse 1
Rejoice with me, for now I’m free,
I joy in a new pleasure;
From God above, the gift of love
Is mine in fullest measure.
Chorus
Rejoice, rejoice, Christ is my choice,
His cross alone my glory;
When life shall last, when death is past,
I’ll sing the joyful story.
Verse 2
Once vile with sin, Christ makes me clean,
Once a call condemnation;
For I believe and now receive
A full and free salvation.
Verse 3
In Christ I live, and He doth give
Great joy where once was sadness;
And in this way, from day to day,
My life is filled with gladness.
Verse 4
To all proclaim His wondrous name,
Repeat this old, old story;
Till work is done and heaven won,
Then praise Him more in glory.
