The Lord Is King, Lift Up Your Voice

Words: Josiah Conder · Music: James William Elliott · 1824

Verse 1
The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all ye heav'ns, rejoice;
from world to world the joy shall ring,
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"

Verse 2
The Lord is King! who then shall dare
resist his will, distrust his care,
or murmur at his wise decrees,
or doubt his royal promises?

Verse 3
He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains;
your God is King, your Father reigns;
and he is at the Father's side,
the Man of love, the Crucified.

Verse 4
Alike pervaded by his eye
all parts of his dominion lie:
this world of ours and worlds unseen,
and thine the boundary between!

Verse 5
One Lord one empire all secures;
he reigns, and life and death are yours;
through earth and heav'n one song shall ring,
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"
