19. Rejoice! the Lord Is King!

1 Rejoice! the Lord is King!
Your God and King adore;
Let all give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore.

Refrain:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice;
Rejoice, rejoice,
Again I say, rejoice.

2 His Kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and heav’n;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Saviour given. [Refrain]

3 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And ev’ry bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy. [Refrain]

4 Rejoice in glorious hope;
For soon the Lord shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home. [Refrain]
