Rejoice! For the King is Born!

 

Rejoice, O Mary

For good news I bring,

Good news, from God on high!

Rejoice, be happy

For comes a King.

Good news – Salvation is nigh!

 

Sing praise, O Joseph

For good news is here,

Good news of a baby boy!

Sing praise, be glad,

Redemption's near -

Sin He will destroy.

 

Bless God, O Simeon

For the Light breaks in:

The Consolation of Israel is born.

Bless God for His sign,

Atonement He brings

Turning darkness to glorious dawn.

 

Bear witness, O Anna,

Give thanks to the Lord

For the promise of God is complete.

Bear witness, rejoice,

For He is God's Word:

Death He has come to defeat.

 

So, come all you people,

Sing praise to the King!

Sing all the ends of the earth.

Rejoice and be glad;

Your praises - come bring,

Through Him you can have new birth.

 

All glory, all honour to God on high!

Rejoice with the angels, come sing!

Holy, holy, holy is His Majesty -

Worthy of the praises we bring.
