Methodist-Hymns-247
1: 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.
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 earth 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:
We soon shall hear the ’archangel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice!
