Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #348 (1913) 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 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 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,
Shall 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!
