Rejoice with me, for now I’m free,
I joy in a new plea­sure;
From God above, the gift of love
Is mine in full­est mea­sure.

Refrain

Rejoice, re­joice, Christ is my choice,
His cross alone my glo­ry;
While life shall last, when death is past,
I’ll sing the joy­ful sto­ry.

Once vile with sin, Christ makes me clean,
Gone is all con­dem­na­tion,
For I be­lieve and now re­ceive
A full and free sal­va­tion.

Refrain

In Christ I live, and He doth give,
Great joy where once was sad­ness;
And in this way, from day to day,
My life is filled with glad­ness.

Refrain

To all pro­claim His won­drous name,
Repeat the old, old sto­ry;
Till work is done and Hea­ven won,
Then praise Him more in glo­ry.
