Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707–1788 |
Tune: | JUBILATE |
Composer: | Horatio Parker, 1863–1919 |
1. Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore!
Mortals, give thanks and sing
And triumph evermore.
[Chorus:]
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. The Lord, the Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love.
When he had purged our stains,
He took his seat above. [Chorus]
3. His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heav’n.
The keys of death and hell
To Christ the Lord are giv’n. [Chorus]
