Rejoice, The Lord Is King

by Charles Wesley

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 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!

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!

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 the archangels voice,
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice!
