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 heaven, |
The keys of death and hell are 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 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! |
