1. Rejoice, ye sons of men and sing,
For there's a Saviour promised;
The Lord deliverance shall bring,
For there's a Saviour promised.

Chorus:
Rejoice, a King in righteousness
Shall reign and all the people bless,
From pole to pole the earth possess,
O there's a Saviour promised.

2. From Jacob shall arise a star,
For there's a Saviour promised;
And Gentiles seek it from afar,
For there's a Saviour promised. [Chorus]

3. The man of Uz shall happy be,
For there's a Saviour promised;
The longed-for "Daysman" shall he see,
For there's a Saviour promised. [Chorus]

4. A strong Deliv'rer shall appear,
For there's a Saviour promised;
And bring the great salvation near,
For there's a Saviour promised. [Chorus]
