Rejoicing at the Remembrance

"Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness" (Psalm 97:11,12). "Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank Thee, O Father" (Luke 10:20,21).

Rejoice at the remembrance
That God has found a way
To close the fearful distance
That held our souls at bay.

Rejoice, for Christ rejoices;
How wonderful the thought!
His joy now stirs our voices
To praise Him as we ought.

Rejoice! Our names are written;
Our Savior bids us look:
The Lamb Who once was smitten,
Has sealed them in His book.
