The New Christian Hymnal ‎#90

90. 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.
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.
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.
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

4 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.
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
