186. 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, rejoice, 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 heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
Rejoice, 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 given.
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, again I say rejoice.

4 He all his foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell,
With pure seraphic joy.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, again I say rejoice.

5 Rejoice in glorious hope,
Jesus the judge shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th'arch-angels voice,
The trump of God shall sound Rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, again I say rejoice.
