Now Let Us Rejoice

Now Let Us Rejoice, piano solo PDF, audio

This is one of my favorite hymns! Full of joy and power, it speaks of the saints of the Church of Christ rejoicing in the coming day of the Lord. The Lord will fulfill His promises, and He does reach out to each of us today, as we work to prepare the way for His second coming.

The early Mormon Pioneers are examples of this trust in the Lord. Their faith and legacy live on, helping us all to rejoice and look to the Lord.

This piano solo is medium difficulty, and you can sing right along! Here are the words to this hymn: (by W.W. Phelps, and was included in the first LDS hymn book)

1. 1. Now let us rejoice in the day of salvation.
   No longer as strangers on earth need we roam.
   Good tidings are sounding to us and each nation,
   And shortly the hour of redemption will come,
   When all that was promised the Saints will be given,
   And none will molest them from morn until ev'n,
   And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden,
   And Jesus will say to all Israel, "Come home."
2. 2. We'll love one another and never dissemble
   But cease to do evil and ever be one.
   And when the ungodly are fearing and tremble,
   We'll watch for the day when the Savior will come,
   When all that was promised the Saints will be given,
   And none will molest them from morn until ev'n,
   And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden,
   And Jesus will say to all Israel, "Come home."
3. 3. In faith we'll rely on the arm of Jehovah
   To guide thru these last days of trouble and gloom,
   And after the scourges and harvest are over,
   We'll rise with the just when the Savior doth come.
   Then all that was promised the Saints will be given,
   And they will be crown'd with the angels of heav'n,
   And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden,
   And Christ and his people will ever be one.
