Oh, Sing with Exultation - Anders Arrebo

Oh, sing with exultation,

Sing to the Lord, rejoice,

And in His congregation

Shout with triumphant voice.

For, lo, at God's right hand

Is Christ in glory seated;

With death and hell defeated,

As Victor doth command.

Since Christ, our Lord, is living,

We nevermore shall die;

To God the glory giving,

We rise to Him on high.

Though chastened we may be

And to our graves be taken,

We unto life shall waken

And live eternally.

Christ is the sure Foundation

The builder did reject,

But He for our salvation

Is precious and elect

And made the Corner-stone

On which the Church is founded;

This marvel now is sounded,

The work of God alone.

To Thee, O Christ, be glory,

Who camest in His name!

Thy people sing the story

Thy praises to proclaim.

We thank Thee and adore,

O Christ, our Lord and Saviour;

Thy grace and boundless favour

Stand fast forevermore.
