369. Rejoice, the Lord is King

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

2 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! again I say, Rejoice!

3 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! again I say, Rejoice!

4 Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! again I say, Rejoice!
