1 Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice,
Rejoice, again,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
2 Jesus, the Savior, 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,
Rejoice, again,
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,
Rejoice, again,
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,
Rejoice, again,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
5 He all His foes shall quell,
And all our sins destroy;
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice,
Rejoice, again,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
6 Rejoice in glorious hope!
Our Lord 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,
Rejoice, again,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
