Rejoice evermore With angels above, <br />In Jesus's power, In Jesus's love: <br />With glad exultation Your triumph proclaim, <br />Ascribing salvation To God and the Lamb. <br /> <br />Thou, Lord, our relief In trouble hast been; <br />Hast saved us from grief, Hast saved us from sin; <br />The power of thy Spirit Hath set our hearts free, <br />And now we inherit All fulness in thee; <br /> <br />All fulness of peace, All fulness of joy, <br />And spiritual bliss That never shall cloy: <br />To us it is given In Jesus to know <br />A kingdom of heaven, A heaven below. <br /> <br />No longer we join While sinners invite, <br />Nor envy the swine Their brutish delight; <br />Their joy is all sadness, Their mirth is all vain, <br />Their laughter is madness, Their pleasure is pain. <br /> <br />O might they at last With sorrow return, <br />The pleasures to taste For which they were born; <br />Our Jesus receiving, Our happiness prove, <br />The joy of believing, The heaven of love!<br /><br />John Wesley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-xix-rejoice-evermore-with-angels-above/
