1

Rejoice! the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Ye ransomed saints, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore!

2

The mighty Savior reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he himself had purged our stains,
He took his seat above.

3

His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The sovereign keys of death and hell
Into his hands are given.

4

He sits at God's right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
And humbly bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet.

5

Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take his waiting servants up
To their eternal home.
