Lyics

REJOICE, the Lord is King,
The Prince of Life adore:
O Zion, shout and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:
With gladness great do ye rejoice.


His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv'n:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:
With gladness great do ye rejoice.


He sits at God's right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
And bow at his command,
And fall beneath his feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:
With gladness great do ye rejoice.


He all our foes shall quell,
Shall death itself destroy;
And all his people fill
With pure celestial joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:
With gladness great do ye rejoice.


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."
