Sing Forth with Joy!
Sing forth with joy, gladness, and mirth
Our Lord and Savior is come to earth!
Rejoice and sing forevermore;
He Himself our griefs and sorrows bore.
All we like sheep have gone astray,
Everyone is turned to his own way.
God’s infinite love sent His son,
Who was wounded for our transgression.
He came down to save His people,
Earth has never known love His equal!
Meek and lowly in life was He;
Humbly willing in death on a tree.
Victorious He rose the third day,
Death shall nevermore retain its prey!
And He hath left a Comfort still,
His Spirit shall lead us in His will.
Make known His name throughout the lands,
Every one of His promises stands!
As Bethlehem’s star’s shinning light,
Show forth Jesus Christ in this dark night.
He hath gone to prepare a place,
Where we will e’ermore behold His face!
Do His work with cheerful hearts;
In His kingdom evil hath no part.
