Rejoice Today with One Accord

Rejoice today with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of His Name;
For He is God alone
Who hath His mercy shown;
Let all His saints adore Him!

When in distress to Him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining;
O trust in Him, whate’er betide,
His love is all sustaining;
Triumphant songs of praise
To Him our hearts shall raise;
Now every voice shall say,
“O praise our God alway”;
Let all His saints adore Him!

Rejoice today with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of His Name;
For He is God alone
Who hath His mercy shown;
Let all His saints adore Him!

This is an English paraphrase of the Dutch hymn 'Utrrecht Psalm 100' (or a related text) by Sweelinck; the original Dutch text is sometimes attributed to him as both composer and lyricist. English version by Edward Cruse (or similar 19th-c. translator). Alternate attributions sometimes list it simply as 'Traditional' or anonymous.
