Rejoice, the Lord is King!

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!
2 Jesus, our Saviour, 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!
3 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!
4 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!
5 Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus the Judge shall come
And take His servants up
To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
C. Wesley
