Ye Souls That Trust In Christ Rejoice – Hymn Lyric
Ye souls that trust in Christ, rejoice,
Your sins are all forgiven;
Let every Christian raise his voice,
And sing the joys of heaven.
Heaven is that holy happy place,
Where sin no more defiles;
Where God unveils his lovely face,
And looks, and loves, and smiles.
Where Jesus, Son of Man and God,
Triumphant from his wars,
Walks in rich garments dipped in blood,
And shews his glorious scars.
Where ransomed sinners sound God’s praise,
Th’ angelic hosts among,
Sing the rich wonders of his grace,
And Jesus leads the song.
Where saints are free from every load
Of passions or of pains,
God dwells in them, and they in God,
And love for ever reigns.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor can the heart conceive,
All that the blood of Christ procured,
Or all that God can give.
Lord as thou show’st thy glory there;
Make known thy grace to us,
And heaven will not be wanting here,
While we can hymn thee thus.
Meaning of Ye Souls That Trust In Christ Rejoice
Ye souls that trust in Christ, rejoice! What wonderful words to start our hymn with. It reminds us that when we put our trust in Christ, our sins are forgiven. That’s such a relief, isn’t it? Imagine all the mistakes we’ve made, the times we’ve hurt others or done things we’re not proud of. But with Christ, all of those sins are wiped away. It’s like starting with a clean slate, and that’s definitely something to celebrate!
So let’s raise our voices and sing the joys of heaven. What is heaven, you may wonder? Well, it’s a holy and happy place where sin no longer exists. Can you imagine that? No more lies, no more stealing, no more hurting others. It’s a place where God’s face is unveiled, where we can see His love and experience His smile. Just picture that for a moment – being in the presence of God and feeling His overwhelming love for us. It’s truly amazing!
In heaven, Jesus, the Son of Man and God, walks triumphantly. He’s dressed in rich garments, but they’re not just any garments. They’re dipped in his own blood. That may sound strange, but it’s a reminder of what Jesus did for us. He shed his blood on the cross, paying the price for our sins. Those scars on his body are a symbol of his great love for us. They remind us that he conquered sin and death, and that we can find hope and salvation through him.
In this heavenly place, ransomed sinners like us sing praises to God. Can you imagine joining the angelic hosts in singing about the rich wonders of God’s grace? It’s something beyond our wildest imagination. We’ll be surrounded by the beauty of heaven and wrapped in the love of our Savior, who will be leading the song. It’s a beautiful picture of the joy and worship that awaits us in heaven.
And in heaven, there will be no burdens to bear. We’ll be free from all the passions and pains that weigh us down here on earth. God will dwell in us, and we will dwell in Him. Love will reign forever in our hearts. Isn’t that a comforting thought? No more worries, no more struggles. Just pure, everlasting love. It’s the kind of love that satisfies the deepest longings of our hearts.
But here’s the thing – as much as heaven sounds incredible, it’s hard to fully grasp just how amazing it really is. Our eyes haven’t seen, our ears haven’t heard, and our hearts can’t even conceive of all that the blood of Christ has procured for us. It’s beyond human comprehension. We can only catch a glimpse of its greatness. But oh, what a glimpse it is!
So, Lord, as you show your glory in heaven, we ask you to make your grace known to us here on earth. We may not be in the presence of angels singing praises or walking with Jesus in his glorious scars, but we can still experience glimpses of heaven in our everyday lives. When we worship you, when we love others, when we choose forgiveness and kindness – these are the moments where heaven touches earth.
And as we raise our voices in this hymn, we are reminded that heaven is not distant or far away. It’s here with us, as long as we can hymn God and proclaim His goodness. So let’s continue to trust in Christ, rejoice in his forgiveness, and live in anticipation of the heavenly joys that await us.
