Through His cross, believers receive divine mercy and love, standing in His light without fear. The poem urges saints to sing victoriously, praising the Lamb’s eternal glory. It culminates in the awe-inspiring truth that in Christ, our souls are lifted to shine with divine, boundless joy.

O joyful news, our hearts in triumph sing,
For Christ, our Savior, cloaks us in His grace!
His righteousness, a robe from heaven’s King,
Adorns our souls to seek His holy face.
No works of ours could e’er attain such height,
Yet through His cross, God’s mercy is unfurled.
In Him we stand, made righteous in His light,
His perfect love now gifted to the world.
Rejoice, ye saints, lift high the victor’s song!
The Lamb has won, His glory ever near.
In Christ alone, our spirits soar along,
Counted as God’s, with naught to dread or fear.
O boundless joy, eternal and divine,
In Christ, His glory lifts our souls to shine!
