The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#62

62. The Lord is King! lift up thy voice

1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring,
The Lord omnipotent is King!

2 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just,
Holy and true are all his ways;
Let every creature speak his praise.

3 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains,
Your God is King, your Father reigns;
And he is at the Father's side,
The man of love, the Crucified.

4 Come, make your wants, your burdens known,
He will present them at the throne;
And angel bands are waiting there,
His messages of love to bear.

5 O when his wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, his love forsake,
Then may his children cease to sing,
The Lord omnipotent is King!
