The New Church Hymnal ‎#32

32. 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 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 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!

Amen.
