Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #197 (1999) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 First Line: Rejoice, the Lord is King! 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 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.
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.
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,
And 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.
6 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! Topics: Christ's Ascension and Reign Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST CHURCH
