Rejoice, the Lord Is King

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!

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!

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!

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!

He all His foes shall quell

Shall all our sins de­stroy

And ev­ery bos­om swell

With pure se­raph­ic joy;

Lift up your heart

lift up your voice

Rejoice

again I say

re­joice!

Rejoice in glo­ri­ous hope!

Jesus the Judge shall come

And take His serv­ants up

To their eter­nal home.

We soon shall hear th’arch­an­gel’s voice;

The trump of God shall sound

re­joice!
