172. Rejoice, the Lord is King

1 Rejoice, the Lord is King;
Your God and King adore.
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore!
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.

2 Rejoice, the Saviour, reigns;
He reigns in truth and love;
When he had wash'd our stains
He took his seat above;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.

3 His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heav’n,
The keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus giv’n
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.

4 He all his foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And ev'ry bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.

5. Rejoice in glorious hope:
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!
