Lyrics:

Rejoice Ye Shining Worlds
Isaac Watts 1674-1748
Tune: from Harmonia Sacra c.1760
recorders, bass, lute
Rejoice ye shining worlds on high,
Behold the king of glory nigh.
Who can this king of glory be
The mighty Lord, the Saviour is He...
Ye heavenly gates your leaves display
To make the Lord the saviour a way
Laiden with spoils of earth and hell
The conqueror comes with God to dwell
Raised from the dead he goes before
He opens heavens eternal door
To give his saints a bless'd abode
With their redeemer and their God
