Rejoice in the Lord always.
Phil. 4:4.
Rejoice, believers in the Lord,
Who makes your cause his own;
The hope that’s built upon his word,
Can ne’er be overthrown.
2 Though many foes beset your road,
And feeble is your arm,
Your life is hid in Christ your God
Beyond the reach of harm.
3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint,
Or fainting, shall not die;
Jesus, the strength of every saint,
Will aid you from on high.
4 As surely as he overcame,
And triumphed once for you;
So surely you that love his name,
Shall triumph in him too.
Newton.
