CXXXIII. 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 hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again, I say rejoice!

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love,
When he had purg'd our stains
He took his seat above:
Lift up your hearts, 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 hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again, I say rejoice!

4 He sits at Gods right-hand,
Till all his foes submit;
And bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again, I say rejoice!

5 He all his foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again, I say rejoice!

6 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!
