195. Rejoice, the Lord is King!

1 REJOICE, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

2 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!

3 His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Saviour given;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again say, 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!
