Lyics

Rejoice and be glad; the Redeemer has come.
Go look on his cradle, his cross, and his tomb.


REF.-Sound his praises, tell the sto-ry 
Sound his praises, tell with gladness
Of him who was slain; 
He liv-eth a-gain.
(For last verse) He com-eth a-gain.



Rejoice and be glad: for the blood has been shed;
Redemption is finished, the price has been paid.


Rejoice and be glad: for the Lamb that was slain,
O'er death is triumphant, and liveth again.


Rejoice and be glad: for our King is on high;
He pleadeth for us on his throne in the sky.


Rejoice and be glad: for he cometh again-
He cometh in glory, the Lamb that was slain.


REF.-
Sound his praise, tell the sto-ry
Of him who was slain:
Sound his praises, tell with gladness,
He liv-eth a-gain.
