Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 221.

Verse 1

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!

Verse 2

Jesus, the Savior, 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!

Verse 3

His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o’er earth and heaven; The keys of death and grave Are to our Jesus given: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

Verse 4

Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord the judge shall come, And take His servants up To their eternal home: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
