Ash Wednesday to Pentecost

Rejoice, My Soul!

  1. Rejoice, my soul, in quiet praise,
    Kneel in the half light of the gathering Spring,
    Honour the passing of the days
    Until He is earth's victim, then Heaven's King.
  2. Rejoice, my soul, in gentle hands
    Whose bounty is unseen except to bless,
    Content to give what Heaven demands
    In token of our Saviour's righteousness.
  3. Rejoice, my soul, in silent bliss,
    Empty all passion for His Passion's crown
    And, fit for Easter happiness,
    Rejoice in how He saved us for His own.
