When the world began,
God created man
To be unified with Him
But we followed pride
And we left his side
He was grieved to see our sin
But a plan was set in motion
For a way to bring us home
And in Bethlehem, when a babe was born
The angels knew the time had come
They sang:
Rejoice, rejoice, for a savior’s come to earth
Rejoice, rejoice; we celebrate His birth
All glory to God whose favor rests on man
To His chosen ones, He has sent His son
Your redemption is at hand
(Backups:)
Righteous Holy Father, blessed perfect plan
Mystery of mysteries, God became a man
Living word now fleshly, light in darkness shines
Creator and creation, Human and divine
Glory be to God who is full of truth and grace
One day we’ll see His face
Purchase of my pardon
When he taught and healed
His glory was revealed
He called the world to follow him
And though he was wise
Jesus was despised
He gave his life-blood for our sins
He was pierced for our transgressions
Our sorrows laid on God’s own Son
But when the third day came, He rose to life again
And the victory was won
We sing:
Rejoice, rejoice, triumph swallows up the grave
Rejoice, rejoice, the Lord is strong to save
All glory to God whose favor rests on man
Perfect sacrifice, Jesus paid the price
And He sits at God’s right hand
(Backups:)
Death could not keep hold on the Son of God above
Iniquity and evil were conquered by His love
Precious loving savior, death cannot destroy
Amazement, bliss, and wonder, afraid yet filled with joy
Glory be to God who His Son in glory raised
Ever we’ll sing His praise
Living hope and mercy
In our lives we often suffer
For we cannot master sin
And in trials we sometimes struggle
Just to put our faith in Him
But the story has been written
By the purchase made with blood
When we face the Lord,
He’ll say, “Great is your reward!”
Rejoice, rejoice, for eternal glory waits
Rejoice, rejoice as trials refine your faith
All glory to God whose favor rests on man
If His burdens bear, we’ll His glory share
And with Jesus we will stand
And with Jesus we will stand
Rejoice
(Backups:)
Momentary troubles, temporary strife
Eagerly awaiting for eternal life
Outwardly we struggle as we waste away
Inwardly we hope as we’re made new day by day
Glory be to God who will guard our hearts with peace
Troubles one day will cease
Share eternal glory |
