1. Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore; Rejoice, give thanks and sing, And triumph evermore; Lift up your heart, lift up your voice; Rejoice, a gain I say, Rejoice!
2. 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, a gain 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, a gain I say, Rejoice!
4. He all His foes shall quell, Shall all our sins destroy; Our souls of praise shall swell With everlasting joy. Lift up your heart, lift up your voice; Rejoice, a gain I say, Rejoice!
5. Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord 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!
