Lyics

REJOICE! the Lord is king,

The Prince of life adore;

O Zion! shout and sing,

And triumph evermore-

Lift up your hearts,

Lift up your voice,

With gladness great

Do you rejoice.



Jesus the Saviour reigns;

His character is love;

When he had purged our sins,

He took his seat above-

Lift up your hearts,

Lift up your voice,

With gladness great

Do you rejoice.



His kingdom cannot fail;

He rules o'er earth and heaven;

The keys of death and hell,

Are to our Saviour given-

Lift up your hearts,

Lift up your voice,

With gladness great

Do you 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 hearts,

Lift up your voice,

With gladness great

Do you rejoice.



Rejoice in glorious hope,

Jesus the Judge shall come,

And take his servants up

To their eternal home-

We soon shall hear

The archangel's voice,

The trump of God

Shall sound, Rejoice.
