REJOICE

LYRICS

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

Lift up your heart
Lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

Jesus, the Savior, reigns
The God of truth and love
When He had purged our stains
He took his seat above

His kingdom cannot fail
He rules o'er earth and heav'n
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv'n

Rejoice in glorious hope
Rejoice in God alone
Rejoice, He reigns, the Lord of love
Rejoice, He reigns, His kingdom come

  • “Rejoice” comes from an older hymn text that has helped the Church sing the reign of Christ for generations. In this setting, the familiar call remains clear: “Rejoice, the Lord is King.” The song is not first a command to feel happy. It is an invitation to remember who is on the throne.
