Join the Joyful


"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity... for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore" (Psalm 133:1,3).  "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold" (Proverbs 22:1).  "I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation" (Habakkuk 3:18).  "All the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him" (Luke 13:17). 

It is a pleasant thing indeed,
When joining in our Savior's name,
To thank the Lord who met our need
When on the cross He bore our shame. 

We glorify the name of Christ
As we rejoice in all His favor
That He procured when sacrificed
As our heroic, mighty Savior. 

We will rejoice in Christ our Lord
Who is the God of our salvation. 
Let Him forever be adored  
Who rescued us from condemnation!   

O Lord, we join the joyful ranks
Of all who love and worship You
As we remember and give thanks
For all You've done and yet will do!
