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 hellInto 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 upTo their eternal home.
