1 Rejoice, and hail the King,
Your sov’reign Lord adore;
Exalt His name, and sing
His praises evermore.

Refrain:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice,
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, rejoice.

2 From Him no word can fail,
All pow’r to Him is giv’n;
His kingdom will prevail,
And fill the earth and heav’n. [Refrain]

3 We now await the day
When Christ our Lord shall come,
To drive the clouds away,
And take His lov’d ones home. [Refrain]
