Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #193 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 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 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 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. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Ascension Scripture: Psalm 97:1 Languages: English Tune Title: GOPSAL
