Oh, sing with exultation, Sing to the Lord, rejoice, And in His congregation Shout with triumphant voice. For, lo, at God’s right hand Is Christ in glory seated; With death and hell defeated, As Victor doth command. Since Christ, our Lord, is living, We nevermore shall die; To God the glory giving, We rise to Him on high. Though chastened we may be And to our graves be taken, We unto life shall waken And live eternally. Christ is the sure Foundation The builder did reject, But He for our salvation Is precious and elect And made the Corner-stone On which the Church is founded; This marvel now is sounded, The work of God alone. To Thee, O Christ, be glory, Who camest in His Name! Thy people sing the story Thy praises to proclaim. We thank Thee and adore, O Christ, our Lord and Savior; Thy grace and boundless favor Stand fast forevermore. |
