213. REJOICE, THE LORD IS KING!
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 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!
3. His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Saviour given;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
4. Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home;
We soon shall hear th’archangel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
