#221 Rejoice, The Lord is King

Words: Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

Music: John Darwell (1731-1789)

 

Rejoice, the Lord is King!

Your Lord and King adore!

Rejoice, 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 heaven;

The keys of death and grave

Are to our Jesus given:

Lift up your heart,

lift up your voice!

Rejoice, again

I say, rejoice!

 

Rejoice in glorious hope!

Our Lord the judge shall come,

And take His servants up

To their eternal home:

Lift up your heart,

lift up your voice!

Rejoice, again

I say, rejoice!
