Oh, Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Christian Keimann Meter: 8.7.7.8.7.7.8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Lyrics: 1 Oh, rejoice, ye Christians, loudly, For our joy hath now begun; Wondrous things our God hath done. Tell abroad His goodness proudly Who our race hath honored thus That He deigns to dwell with us. Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, For the Sun of Grace is shining! 2 See, my soul, thy Savior chooses Weakness here and poverty; In such love He comes to thee. Nor the manger bed refuses; All He suffers for thy good, To redeem thee by His blood. Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, For the Sun of Grace is shining! 3 Lord, how shall I thank Thee rightly? I acknowledge that by Thee I am saved eternally. Let me not forget it lightly, But to Thee at all times cleave, And my heart true peace receive. Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, For the Sun of Grace is shining! 4 Jesus, guard and guide Thy members; Fill Thy brethren with Thy grace, Hear their prayers in ev'ry place. Quicken now life's faintest embers; Grant all Christians, far and near, Holy peace, a glad New Year! Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, For the Sun of Grace is shining! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: FREUET EUCH, IHR CHRISTEN

To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life’s brief span. 4 You, Creator-God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness, bring the life of Christ to mind; that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.
