Rejoice in the Lord Always (Hamilton) – Easy Piano Sheet Music
About Rejoice in the Lord Always
The lyrics “Rejoice in the Lord always” are from a Bible verse in Philippians 4:4 that states “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.” This is a popular passage that has been set to music in various Christian hymns and songs over the years.
It is written as a personal testimony of God’s goodness after the loss of his eye, Rejoice in the Lord is the most popular and enduring song composed by Ron Hamilton. The lyrics beautifully express the calm assurance that believers can rejoice in the Lord through any trial of life because God makes no mistakes.
Lyrics Rejoice in the Lord Always
God never moves without purpose or plan
When trying His servant and molding a man
Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long
In darkness He giveth a song
O Rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried
And purified
I shall come forth as gold
I could not see through the shadows ahead
So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead
I bowed to the will of the Master that day
Then peace came and tears fled away
Now I can see testing comes from above
God strengthens His children and purges in love
My Father knows best, and I trust in His care
Through purging more fruit I will bear
O Rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried
And purified
I shall come forth
I shall come forth
I shall come forth as gold
About the Composer of Rejoice in the Lord Always
Ronald Allen Hamilton (November 9, 1950 – April 19, 2023), also known as “Patch the Pirate”, was an American Christian musician, composer, preacher, and radio personality. He was president and owner of Majesty Music, a Christian music publisher, and the creator of the Patch the Pirate Adventure series.Ron Hamilton became affectionately known as “Patch the Pirate” when he began wearing an eye patch after losing his left eye to cancer in 1978. He published hundreds of songs and hymns and wrote numerous cantatas, plays, and children’s stories.
Ron Hamilton was born in Indiana on November 9, 1950. His mother encouraged him to study music as a child, and he reluctantly learned to play the trombone, piano, and the guitar. As a young boy, his family would sing often together, and the children were encouraged to make up their own parts to harmonize.
Ron Hamilton served as music pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Simpsonville, South Carolina, for 21 years. Until 2018, he continued to travel as an evangelistic speaker and served as the director of Majesty MusiColleges, which are seminars held across the United States for Christian music directors and musicians. Approximately one thousand musicians receive training at these MusiColleges each year. In 2017, Ron Hamilton was diagnosed with early onset dementia. After the diagnosis, his son-in-law and daughter, Adam Morgan and Megan Morgan, assumed control of the family’s flagship publishing company, Majesty Music. Ron Hamilton continued traveling and performing for as long as he was able. In 2018, the Morgans took Ron’s popular character to the big screen, releasing the first-ever Patch the Pirate animated movie based on Ron Hamilton’s characters.
Hamilton was placed in hospice care on April 16, 2023, and died at home on April 19, 2023, at age 72.
