Hymns for Youth ‎#100

100. Rejoice, the Lord Is King

1. Rejoice, the Lord is king!
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. The Lord, our saviour, 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 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!
Our Lord the judge shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
