Verse 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
Verse 2
Jesus the Saviour 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
Verse 3
His kingdom cannot fail
He rules o'er earth and heaven
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given
Lift up your heart lift up your voice
Rejoice again I say rejoice
Verse 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
Verse 5
Rejoice in glorious hope
Jesus the Judge shall come
And take His servants up
To their eternal home
We soon shall hear the archangel's voice
The trump of God shall sound rejoice
