Hymn for today

I've posted this twice before, but it keeps coming to my mind today (I'd like to think it's a God-thing):
1 Rejoice the Lord is King,
   Your God and king adore;
   Rejoice give thanks and sing,
   And triumph ever-more.
   Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
   Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

2 The Lord our Saviour reigns,
   The God of truth and love;
   When he had purg'd 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 heav'n;
   The keys of death and hell
   Are to our Jesus giv'n.
   Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
   Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

4 Rejoice in glorious hope;
   The Lord our 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.
                         Charles Wesley
