Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.

REJOICE, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Soldiers, give thanks, and sing
And triumph evermore:

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains,
He took his seat above:

3 His Kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o?er earth and Heaven;
The keys of death and Hell
Are to our Jesus given:

4 He sits at God?s right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
And bow to his command
And fall beneath his feet:

5 He all his foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy:

6 Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus the judge shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal Home:

Chorus
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice.


Chorus after verse 6:
We soon shall hear the archangel?s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!

Charles
