562. Rejoice, the Lord Is King

1 Rejoice, the Lord is King:
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph ever more:

[Refrain:]
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: [Refrain]

3 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
The church his work shall tell
With everlasting joy: [Refrain]

Amen.
