#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!
