About this Hymn
We wrote this as a gathering song for worship as Christians are drawn from every generation, every circumstance, and every part of the world to unite their voices to worship the risen King. It was used as the opening praise for Lausanne III, in Cape Town (2010). The lyrics serve in helping understand why we gather for singing.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, people of the risen King, who delight to bring him praise; come all, and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace. From the shifting shadows of the earth we will lift our eyes to him, where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in.
Chorus
Rejoice! Rejoice! Let ev'ry tongue rejoice! One heart, one voice; O church of Christ, rejoice!
Verse 2
Come, those whose joy is morning sun, and those weeping through the night; come, those who tell of battles won, and those struggling in the fight. For his perfect love will never change, and his mercies never cease, but follow us through all our days in the certain hope of peace.
Verse 3
Come, young and old from ev'ry land, men and women of the faith; come, those with full or empty hands— find the riches of his grace. Over all the world his people sing— shore to shore we hear them call, the truth that cries through ev'ry age: "Our God is all in all!"
