Rejoice

Rejoice and shout with laughter
Throw all your burdens down,
If God has been so gracious
As to make you black or white,
Rich or poor,ugly and fine
For you are a great person,
A person of great birth.
For where would spring the flowers
If God took away the earth?
Rejoice and shout with laughter,
Throw all your burdens down.
Yours is a glorious heritage
If you are white or black.
