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!

 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!

 His kingdom cannot fail,
 He rules o’er earth and Heav’n,
 The keys of death and hell are
 to our Jesus giv’n;
 Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
 Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

 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!

 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!

 Rejoice in glorious hope!
 Jesus the Judge shall come,
 And take His servants up
 to their eternal home.
 We soon shall hear th’archangel’s voice;
 The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!
