Adam Gumpelzhaimer: Rejoice to God


Rejoice to God with singing, all Christian folk give him praise, your songs before him bringing for God is your strength always. And when the unknown morrow brings pain and bitterness, then give no place to sorrow; he healeth all distress. He to his service calls you, his holy word is your might; whatever ill befalls you, his promise all will make right. His tender care abiding in every hour of woe, be glad, in him confiding, his grace and truth to know. (Harrison Oxley)
