Rejoice the Lord is King

Rejoice the Lord is King

1. Rejoice, the Lord is king!

Your Lord and king adore:

mortals, give thanks and sing,

and triumph ever more:

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 both earth and heaven;

the keys of death and hell

to Jesus now are given:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:

rejoice! Again I say, rejoice!

4. He sits at God’s right hand,

till al! 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!

5. Rejoice in glorious hope!

Jesus the judge shall come

and take his servants up

to their eternal home:

We soon shall hear the archangel's voice:

the trumpet sounds rejoice, rejoice!
