Verse 1
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!
Verse 2
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!
Verse 3
His Kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Saviour given;
Lift up your heart, lift up your [voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Verse 4
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 [rejoice
voice;
The trump of God shall sound,
