CXXXIII. 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 hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again, I say rejoice!

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love,
When he had purg'd our stains
He took his seat above.
Lift up your hearts, 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 given:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again, I say rejoice!

4 He sits at Gods right-hand,
Till all his foes submit;
And bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet:
Lift up your hearts, 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 hearts, 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 the archangel's voice,
The trump of God shall sound rejoice!
