COME PEOPLE OF THE RISEN KING

Lyrics

Verse 1
Come people of the risen King
Who delight to bring him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to him
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in

Chorus
Rejoice, rejoice
Let every tongue rejoice
One heart, one voice
O Church of Christ, rejoice

Verse 2
Come those whose joy is morning sun
And those weeping through the night
Come those who tell of battles won
And those struggling in the fight
For his perfect love will never change
And his mercies never cease
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace

Verse 3
Come young and old from every land
Men and women of the faith
Come those with full or empty hands
Find the riches of his grace
Over all the world his people sing
Shore to shore we hear them call
The truth that cries through every age
Our God is all in all

Sample Introduction

We are the people of the risen King and he delights in our praise. Whether we are joyful or weeping, struggling or victorious, let us tune our hearts now to sing to our God, whose mercy never ceases.
