Rejoice and Be Glad!
Words and music: Ross Jutsum
Text based on Matthew 5:3-9
1. Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heav'n;
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall be forgiv'n.
CHORUS
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
for great is your reward;
Rejoice, always be thankful
for your blessings from the Lord.
2. Blessed are the meek in spirit,
for they shall inherit the earth;
Blessed are the thirsty ones,
For God shall quench their thirst.
CHORUS
3. Blessed are the ones oppressed
for theirs is the Kingdom of hean'n;
Blessed are the ones who mourn,
for God shall comfort them.
CHORUS
4. Blessed are the peaceful ones,
for they shall be children of God;
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see their God.
CHORUS
