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 !
2. Rejoice ! the Saviour reignsâ 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!
3. 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 !
4. Rejoice in glorious hope ! Jesus, 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 !
