#143: Rejoice — The Lord is King!

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

Rejoice the Lord is King!

Your Lord and King adore!

Rejoice, give thanks, and sing

And triumph evermore:

REFRAIN

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:

REFRAIN

3

His kingdom cannot fail —

He rules o’er earth and heav’n;

The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus giv’n:

REFRAIN

4

Rejoice in glorious hope!

Our Lord the Judge shall come

And take His servants up

To their eternal home:

REFRAIN
