The Psalms of David ‎#H80

H80. Rejoice, the Lord is King

1 Rejoice, the Lord is King,
Th' ascended King adore;
Mortals, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore!
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints rejoice.

2 Rejoice the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purg'd our stains,
He took his seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints 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 aloud, ye saints rejoice.

4 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.
