“We Rejoice” highlights the joy of being a slave of Christ. While this relationship certainly demands solemnity considering the cost of our re-demption, it does not exclude the vital place of joy in a Christian’s life. This song calls fellow slaves of Christ to delight in the Lord as they re-member the gospel and proclaim it to others.
lyrics
We rejoice, we rejoice
In the work that God has done;
He has saved, He has saved
Sinners through His risen Son!
Christ redeems His chosen people;
What a Lord! What a gracious Master!
For our sin, He made atonement
By His blood; what a loving Savior!
He has bought, He has bought
Slaves from their harsh chains to sin.
With His blood, with his blood
He has paid our ransom!
We recall, we recall
Who we were before new birth:
Slaves to sin – But now to Him,
And He has made us children!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Some new and non traditional...beautiful renditions of the Nativity Story put to song...."A Light".."that all the darkness could never and will never overcome! Amen." Sharon Wood
This is a great collection of settings for the Psalms. It's diverse in it's music as well as in the poetry. Some has a Reformation/Puritan feel, others are much more modern retellings. Garrett Lee
