1.
Rejoice and shout for joy in the Lord always,
you who worship Him!
Those who trust in Him need not be discouraged—
rejoice!

Chorus:
Rejoice… rejoice in the Lord always!
Shout for joy!
Rejoice… rejoice,
and celebrate with gladness!

2.
In Christ, who took away our sins
and freely gave us abundant life,
we have received salvation,
eternal righteousness,
and everlasting blessing.

3.
Let us remember that He accomplishes everything
by the power of His mighty word.
He reigns as Lord
over both heaven and earth.

4.
While the people of the world
live overwhelmed by sorrow and hopelessness,
we can live with inner peace and contentment,
rejoicing in the hope we have in Christ.

5.
In the battles for righteousness,
it may sometimes seem as though the enemy is winning.
But the army that protects us
is far greater and stronger
than all our enemies.

6.
Let us rejoice and shout for joy,
looking forward to the glory of heaven.
All who have been set free
by the truth—
praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
