Sunday Hymn: Rejoice, the Lord Is King

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!

—Charles Wesley
