Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Hymns for Youth #100 (1966) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 First Line: Rejoice, the Lord is king! Refrain First Line: Lift up your heart Lyrics: 1. Rejoice, the Lord is king!
Your Lord and king adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
2. The Lord, our 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. Rejoice in glorious hope!
Our Lord the judge shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
