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 Saviour reigns,The GOD of Truth and Love,When He had purg'd 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 Heaven;The Keys of Death and HellAre to our Jesus given: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 swellWith 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 upTo their Eternal Home:We soon shall hear th' Archangel's Voice,The Trump of GOD shall sound, Rejoice.
