1 Rejoice, all people, homage give,
To God with voice of triumph sing;
He rules us in dread majesty,
The great, the universal king.

2 He puts nations under us
And makes us all triumphant stand;
He gives us for our heritage
His promised rest, a goodly land.

3 God has ascended with a shout,
Jehovah with the trumpet's sound;
Sing praise to God our King, sing praise,
Yes, let his glorious praise abound.

4 Our God is King of all the earth,
With thoughtful heart his praise make known,
O'er all the nations God does reign,
Exalted on his holy throne.

5 To praise and serve our cov'nant God
The princes of the earth draw nigh;
All kingly pow'rs belong to him,
He is exalted, God most high.
