REJOICE THE LORD IS KING

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!




Jesus the Saviour reigns,

The God of truth and love;

When He had purged our stains,

He took His seat above:




His kingdom cannot fail,

He rules o'er earth and heaven;

The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given:




He sits at God's right hand

Till all His foes submit,

And bow to His command,

And fall beneath His feet:




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 trump of God shall sound: rejoice!
