Rejoicing Retrostyle - God's Son has set me free - Christian Music Videos

Joy can take many forms: extrovert and more contained and subdued. The rejoicing here is the subdued and hidden kind. You must taste it to grasp it properly. Let the words do their work: retro it may be -to say the least! but it is filled with assurance and gladness. The melody is from Heddal in Norway, and a choral version of it was made by Edvard Greig. However, I prefer the original as the underlying joy comes better into focus. I have therefore stuck to an early form. In addition I have translated it anew to the best of my skill, to reflect the original text more closely both in content and style and, knowing the original text and the alternative translations, I am happy with my product.
