Congregational Hymn*
Rejoice, Rejoice Believers Rejoice, rejoice believers, and let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, and darker night is near. The bridegroom is arising, and soon is drawing nigh. Up, pray and watch and wrestle; at midnight comes the cry. The saints, who here in patience their cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign forever when sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory, the Lamb they shall behold; In triumph cast before Him, their diadems of gold. Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise O Sun so longed for, O’er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, that sets Your people free.
Southeastern University Concert Choir and Symphony Orchestra Rejoice, Rejoice Believers Music: Traditional, Arr. Jason Thomas Aylward Lyrics: Laurentius Laurenti, Tr. Sarah B. Finlater
