Rejoice, the Lord Is Come

By C. Lowell Olsen

Peter,

To the man at the temple gate,

bent his head

and said,

Gold and silver have we none;

Our gift is in the name of the Son.

Arise

and be made whole.

Dear friend,

We have naught of worldly goods

to share,

though we care,

But what we have by way of

treasure

Freely we give and it gains in

measure.

Rejoice,

the Lord is come.

Christmas:

The season believers mark

his birth

on earth.

He came to redeem us from the fall;

His grace attends us one and all.

We live

because of him.

Kneel

And call on his blessed name;

our Lord,

the Word,

With saints and angels lift your

voice;

For the gift of life let us rejoice

and worship

Jesus.
