'''''Rejoice in the Lamb''''' ([[Opus number|Op]]. 30) is a [[cantata]] for four soloists, [[SATB]] [[choir]], and [[organ (music)|organ]] composed by [[Benjamin Britten]] in 1943 and based on the poem ''[[Jubilate Agno]]'' by [[Christopher Smart]] (1722–1771). The poem, written while Smart was in an asylum depicts idiosyncratic praise and worship of God by all created beings and things, each in its own way. The cantata was commissioned by the Reverend [[Walter Hussey]] for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the consecration of [[St Matthew's Church, Northampton]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Church and patronage in 20th century Britain : Walter Hussey and the arts|last=Webster|first=Peter|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|year=2017|isbn=9781137369093|___location=London|pages=59–71|oclc=1012344270}}</ref>
