Rejoice! the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore; Ye sons of men, give thanks and sing, And triumph evermore. The mighty Saviour reigns, In glorious worlds above; His kingdom cannot fail, Nor his dominion cease; In conflicts with his foes, He conquered in the strife; Come, ye who love the Lord, And let your joys be known; Join in a song, with sweet accord, While ye surround the throne. The sorrows of the mind Be banished from this place; They hear their Saviour's voice, In him they evermore rejoice, The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; |
