The Celebration Hymnal ‎#370

370. Rejoice, the Lord Is King

1 Rejoice, the Lord is King:
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart;
Lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

2 Jesus, the Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love.
When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above.
Lift up your heart;
Lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

3 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!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

4 Rejoice in glorious hope!
Our Lord, the Judge shall come
And take His servants up
To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart;
Lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
