1 Rejoice, the Lord is king!
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!

2 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!

3 His kingdom cannot fail,
he rules both earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
to Jesus now is given:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:
rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!

4 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!

5 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 trumpet sounds — rejoice, rejoice!
