1 Rejoice, the Lord is King;
your sovereign Lord adore;
give thanks, O mortals,
sing and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart;
lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

2 For Christ the Saviour reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when Jesus purged our stains,
he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart;
lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

3 His reign can never fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven:
the keys of death and hell
are to our Saviour 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,
for Christ the judge shall come
and take the faithful up
to their eternal home:
We soon shall hear
the archangel's voice;
the trump of God shall sound: rejoice.

1 Chrétien, réjouis-toi!
tressaille d'allégresse,
car ton Sauveur est roi:
regarde à lui sans cesse.
En son amour, chrétien,
réjouis-toi,
réjouis-toi toujours!

2 Exalte le Seigneur:
il a sauvé ton âme!
Dieu l'a comblé d'honneur
après la croix infâme.
En son amour, chrétien,
réjouis-toi,
réjouis-toi toujours!

3 Éclate en saints transports!
Voici ton Dieu confie
les portes de la mort
au Prince de la vie.
En son amour, chrétien,
réjouis-toi,
réjouis-toi toujours!

4 Espère, adore et crois!
Jésus seul est le Maître.
Au loin déjà je vois
sa gloire enfin paraître.
En son amour, chrétien,
réjouis-toi,
réjouis-toi toujours!

5 Christ règne dans le ciel
au sein de la lumière,
et son règne éternel
bientôt viendra sur terre.
En son amour, chrétien,
réjouis-toi,
réjouis-toi toujours!
