Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #124 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 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, for evermore, 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, for evermore, rejoice.
3 His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, for evermore, 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!
Amen.
