The great De­liv’rer long fore­told
In age­s past by seers of old
Has come the cap­tive to set free,
And bring the glo­ri­ous ju­bi­lee.

Refrain

Rejoice, rejoice,
Behold the pro­mised Sav­ior;
Rejoice, re­joice,
The Prince of Peace has come.

He comes the sin­ner to redeem,
And res­cue from the pow­er of sin;
He comes the lost to seek and save,
He comes to tri­umph o’er the grave.

Refrain

O Zi­on! lift thy rap­tured eye,
The long ex­pect­ed hour is nigh;
The joys of na­ture rise again,
The Prince of Sa­lem comes to reign.
