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 His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
to Christ the Lord are given.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice.
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
3 He sits at God's right hand
till all his foes submit,
bow down at his command,
and fall beneath his feet.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice.
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
4 Rejoice in glorious hope:
for Christ, the Judge shall come
to gather all his saints to
their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice.
