Verse 1
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore.
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing
and triumph evermore.
Chorus
Lift up your heart!
Lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Verse 2
Our Savior, Jesus, reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above:
Verse 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:
Verse 4
Rejoice in glorious hope,
for Christ the Judge shall come
to gather all his saints
to their eternal home:
