Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #563 (2000) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Easter VII Year A Lyrics: 1 Rejoice! The Lord is King,
your Lord and King adore;
mortals, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore:
Refrain:
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: [Refrain]
3 His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus given: [Refrain]
4 He sits at God's right hand
till all his foes submit,
and bow to his command,
and fall beneath his feet: [Refrain]
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 trump of God shall sound: rejoice! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 Languages: English Tune Title: GOPSAL
