217. 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 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 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!
