Repent, rejoice, revive, arise.
May love flow kindly from my eyes.
May tears turn into joyful cries
and with that joy new life.
Repent, rejoice, revive, arise.
The spirit lives and never dies.
The way’s the wonder of the wise
for they have hungered for it.
Repent, rejoice, revive, arise.
My hope* is Jesus crucified—
AND RESURRECTED. No more lies.
Through Him death was defeated.
