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!
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 heav'n;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus giv'n:
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!
Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus, the judge, shall come,
and take His servants up
to their eternal home:
We soon shall hear th'archangel's voice;
the trump of God shall sound, rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
