Rejoicing in the Reason

"I rejoice at Thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil" (Psalm 119:162).  "To the counselors of peace is joy" (Proverbs 12:20).  "My spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior… for He hath visited and redeemed His people… to give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1:47,68-79). 

How joyful is the revelation

Of Jesus Christ who fought for us

And claimed the treasures of salvation

Because He was victorious!

As counselors of heaven's peace,

We bring the news of blood-bought favor;

Our song of joy shall never cease

As we rejoice in God our Savior! 

Far greater than we could have dreamed

Is our redemption from the Lord,

For by His blood we are redeemed; 

His spotless life has been outpoured. 

O Lord, our Dayspring from on high,

We are rejoicing in Your love!  

We know this is the reason why

You came to save us from above.
