Oh, Sing with Exultation - #217

"Oh, Sing with Exultation"
by Anders C. Arrebo, 1587-1637
Translated by Carl Doving, 1867-1937

1. 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.

2. 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
Andto our graves be taken,
We unto life shall waken
And live eternally.

3. Christ is the sure Foundation
The builder did reject,
But He four 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.

4. 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 Savior;
Thy grace and boundless favor
Stand fast forevermore.
