The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#164

164. Rejoice, the Lord is King!

1 Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Soldiers, give thanks, and sing
And triumph evermore:

Refrain:
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:

3 His Kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and Heaven;
The keys of death and Hell
Are to our Jesus given:

4 He sits at God’s right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
And bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet:

5 He all his foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy:

6 Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus the judge shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home:
