Rejoice the Lord is King

C            G       Am         F              G7
Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
C               Am         D                 G   D7 G
Rejoic and give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore;
C    F  G7   C           G7      F
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
C F      E7 Am Dm C/G G7 C
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Jesus, the Saviour, 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 hell are to our Jesus given;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He sits at God's right hand till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command, and fall beneath His feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He all His foes shall quell, shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell with pure seraphic joy;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

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!
