Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your God and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice:
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice!
Rejoice! the Saviour reigns —
The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice:
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice!
He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And every bosom swell
With pure, seraphic joy;
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice:
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice!
Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take His servants up voice:
To their eternal home:
We soon shall hear th' archangel's
The trump of God shall sound:
