Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #259 (1929) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 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. 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.
3. He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And ev'ry bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, 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. Topics: The Christian Life Joy Languages: English Tune Title: ARTHUR'S SEAT
