Author: C. Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #376 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Refrain First Line: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice Lyrics: 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!
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!
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!
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!
5 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And ev'ry bosomn swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!
6 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy;
And ev'ry bosomn swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!
