1. Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
2. Jesus, the Savior, 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 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, again I say, rejoice!
4. He sits at God’s right hand
till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,
and fall beneath His feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
5. He all His foes shall quell,
shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell
with pure seraphic joy;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
6. 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!
