449. Rejoice! the Lord is King

1 Rejoice! the Lord is King,
your Lord and King adore.
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore:
[Refrain:]
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
rejoice; again I say: Rejoice!

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above: [Refrain]

3 His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules both earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus given: [Refrain]

4 Rejoice in glorious hope,
for Christ, the Judge, shall come,
and take his servants up
to their eternal home:
[Refrain:]
We then shall hear the archangel's voice;
the trump of God shall sound: Rejoice!
