Rejoice, the Lord Is King

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!  

2 Jesus, the Savior, reigns,  
The God of truth and love.  
When He has purged our stains,  
He took his seat above.  
Lift up your heart;  
Lift up your voice!  
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!  

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.  
Lift up your heart;  
Lift up your voice!  
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!  

4 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!
