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!
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 both 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!

Hills of the North, rejoice; River and mountain spring, Hark to the advent voice; Valley and lowland, sing; Though absent long, your Lord is nigh; He judgment brings and victory.
Isles of the southern seas, Deep in your coral caves Pent be each warring breeze, Lulled be your restless waves: He comes to reign with boundless sway, And makes your wastes His great highway.
Lands of the East, awake, Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and gray, Has dawned the everlasting day.
Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblest, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified.
Shout, while ye journey home; Songs be in every mouth; Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South. City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee!
