457. Rejoice the Lord is King!

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

2 Jesus the Saviour 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!
Lift up your heart! lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!

3 He sits at God's right hand,
Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,
And fall beneath His feet.
Lift up your heart! lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
Lift up your heart! lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!

4 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!
We soon shall hear the archangel's voice:
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice!

Amen.
