Composer: | William E. Fischer, 1849 - 1936 |
1 Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Refrain:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains
He took his seat above: [Refrain]
3 His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o'er earth and heaven,
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given: [Refrain]
4 He sits at God's right hand
Till all his foes submit,
And bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet: [Refrain]
