Rejoice, Ye People

Rejoice, ye people in the Lord
And be exceeding glad.
Strong in the Lord and by His grace
With robes of salvation clad.

Rejoice ye people in His works
How marvelous and grand.
He spoke the word and it was done
From dew drop to heav’nly span.

Rejoice ye people when your hart
Is tempted to do wrong.
He giveth grace in temptation
In darkness He gives a song.

Rejoice ye people when the way
Leads through a thorny path.
Through mountains, valleys, stormy gale,
Still on thy Truth stand fast.

Rejoice ye people in all things
Give thanks forevermore.
In faith rejoice and thus so be
Exceeding glad in Thy Lord.
