THE LORD IS KING, LIFT UP THY VOICE

[1]
The Lord is King, lift up thy voice,
O earth, and, all ye heavens, rejoice;
from world to world the joy shall ring,
'The Lord omnipotent is King!'

[2]
The Lord is King: who then shall dare
resist his will, distrust his care,
or murmur at his wise decrees,
or doubt his royal promises?

[3]
The Lord is King: child of the dust,
the judge of all the earth is just;
holy and true are all his ways:
let every creature speak his praise.

[4]
He reigns: ye saints, exalt your strains;
your God is King, your Father reigns;
and he is at the Father's side,
the Man of love, the crucified.

[5]
One Lord, one empire, all secures;
he reigns, and life and death are yours:
through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
'The Lord omnipotent is King!'
