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!

Jesus, the Saviour 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!

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!

He all His foes shall quell, Shall all our sins destroy;
Our songs of praise shall swell With everlasting joy.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, Rejoice!

Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up To their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th'archangel's voice;
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice!
