Lyrics Rejoice And Be Happy - Violent Femmes

Rejoice And Be Happy

Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name’s sake, they speak all manner of evil and
against you they hate
Blessed are you who are persecuted too, for righteousness and the good that you
do
If in the bread you put a little leaven, the Kingdom is yours and it’s the
Kingdom of Heaven
Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name’s sake, they speak all manner of evil and
against you they hate
Ye are the salt of the earth, if you’re not salty, what are you worth?
Rejoice and be ye exceedingly glad for great is the reward in Heaven to be had
For the prophets they did persecute too, unjust though it was, they came way
before you
Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name’s sake, they speak all manner of evil and
against you they hate
We are the salt of the earth, if we’re not salty, what are we worth?
Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name’s sake, they speak all manner of evil and
against you they hate
Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name’s sake, they speak all manner of evil and
against you they hate
