376. Rejoice, the Lord Is King

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 ev'ry bosomn swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!

6 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And ev'ry bosomn swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!
