English text

1. 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.

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…

3. Rejoice in glorious hope,
Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart…
