The Lord is King! lift up thy voice

1

The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice!From world to world the joy shall ring,The Lord omnipotent is King!

2

The Lord is King! child of the dust,The Judge of all the earth is just,Holy and true are all his ways;Let every creature speak his praise.

3

He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains,Your God is King, your Father reigns;And he is at the Father's side,The man of love, the Crucified.

4

Come, make your wants, your burdens known,He will present them at the throne;And angel bands are waiting there,His messages of love to bear.

5

O when his wisdom can mistake,His might decay, his love forsake,Then may his children cease to sing,The Lord omnipotent is King!
