Hymns

Rejoice, believer, in the LORD

by John Newton·1779·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Col 3:3; Isa 40:29

1

Rejoice, believer, in the LORD
Who makes your cause his own;
The hope that's built upon his word,
Can ne'er be overthrown.

2

Though many foes beset your road,
And feeble is your arm;
Your life is hid with CHRIST in GOD
Beyond the reach of harm.

3

Weak as you are, you shall not faint,
Or fainting shall not die;
JESUS, the strength of every saint,
Will aid you from on high.

4

Though sometimes unperceived by sense,
Faith sees him always near;
A Guide, a Glory, a Defence,
Then what have you to fear?

5

As surely as he overcame,
And triumphed once for you;
So surely you, that love his name,
Shall triumph in him too.

Praise
