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 Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he has purged our sins,
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! Topics: Christ the King; Advent; Ascension; Christ the King; Heaven; Jesus Christ; Joy; Judgment; Praise; Second Coming; Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH
