Lyrics:

 “Weary World Rejoice”
Tune: STILLE NACHT (“Silent Night”) 
Text: Anna Strickland, 2023
Music: Franz Xaver Gruber (1818) 

Weary world, God’s own vine
Tears our only bread and wine
Crying out to be restored D
esperate for a break from war
Weary world rejoice
Come and raise your voice 

Weary world, broken and bruised
Name of God so misused
Can we see the light of Christ
Glowing in each person we spite
Weary world rejoice
Come and raise your voice 

Weary world, out of hope D
isbelief is how we cope
We’ve left faith to rot and rust
Dreams are covered in layers of dust
Weary world rejoice
Come and raise your voice 

Weary world, waiting still
Holding our breath until
Christ returns in truth and grace
Will we recognize his face?
Weary world rejoice
Come and raise your voice  ©
