LyicsREJOICE! 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 you rejoice.
Jesus the Saviour reigns;
His character is love;
When he had purg'd our sins,
He took his seat above-
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
With gladness great do you rejoice.
His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
The keys of death and hell,
Are to our Saviour giv'n-
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 heart, lift up your voice,
With gladness great do you 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 you 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!
