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 Our Lord and 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 and 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!
