Rejoice! The Lord Is King.

"Rejoice! The Lord Is King" is a majestic hymn of praise that instantly lifts the spirit of any congregation. Set to a melody and bassline by George Frideric Handel, the music carries a regal, triumphant energy that perfectly matches the text. It is a staple in our choir lofts, especially fitting for the Feast of Christ the King or as a rousing recessional hymn to send the faithful forth with joy.

The structure of the hymn builds beautifully toward its recurring chorus. After each verse declares the sovereignty and saving work of Christ, the voices unite in the soaring call to "Lift up your heart, lift up your voice." Singing this piece requires a bright, confident tone from the choir, ensuring that the message of Christ's unfailing kingdom rings out clearly across the pews.
