Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
and triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
2 Our Savior, Jesus, reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
3 His Kingdom cannot fail,
he rules both earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus given:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
4 Rejoice in glorious hope
for Christ the Judge shall come
to gether all his saints
to their eternal home:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice! Topics: Adoration Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148th
