Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
Rejoice, give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
The Lord, our Savior, 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!
His kingdom cannot fail, He rules oer earth and Heavn,
The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus givn;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord, the 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!
Words: Charles Wesley (Moral and Sacred Poems, 1744)

The 3rd stanza begins with, "HIs Kingdom can not fail." that inspires me to no end. That's a statement filled with Biblical accuracy. You can anchor your faith on this statement.
I am right there with you.
Even from someone who has not been to church in years I can say without a doubt that nothing beats the sound of a good pipe organ. This organist is fantastic (as is the choir).
It's me, again. I am an ELCA Lutheran that lives in SC. I play the piano and organ. Today (July 3), we opened our service with a hymn to this tune. It is Before You Lord, We Bow, written by Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843. It is #893 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
MAGNIFICENT RENDERING !!!.....What An INCREDIBLE Organist And Choir !!!....The Tempo Was Absolutely Perfect , Thus Conducive To " Milking This Great Hymn For All It Was Worth !!! "....Sung GLORIOUSLY In The High Anglican Tradition , The Sopranos And Tenors were EXCEPTIONAL !!!.....In FACT I Would Go As Far To Say , That The Sopranos And Tenors Were "BEAST " !!!!!.....
Thanks very much, I believe you've been generous with your praise here before. Blessings!
This is one of my favorite hymns. We sing this in our Church; St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Penfield, NY.
Best rendition I have ever heard! MAN that organ is a brute! I get a little pentecostal/charismatic ...
The beauty of God's countenance shines out in this beautiful hymn. Hello WORLD, this is indeed how one is fashioned in His service, when one becomes the child of the wonderful King. REJOICE.
Your run up the scale in your introduction is just fantastic!
I have listened to this over and over and I LOVE it I have been scouring the web for the music. This is so wonderfully done!!
mark husey your insight into improvisation is off the chain!!!!! You are definitely a unique organist.....you really love running notes. That pipe organ sound is tops!!!
My Anglican church plays this Darwall tune at every single service and now I can't get it out of my head :-P Beautifully played in this video though!
We sing this hymn at our Presbyterian Church every Easter Sunday! Beautiful!
One of the first Catholic songs I learnded.Thank you Dr Noel Goemanne of happy memory.
Beautiful choir, i have my own choir and we do sing this song sometimes with our brass band, but it doesn't sound as good as this choir, beautiful, love it, thanks 4 posting this beautiful choir....
Great sounding organ. I do prefer the words of Ye Holy Angels Bright to this. Just sends a shiver down my spine.
Beautiful arrangement.
It's me, again. I also play the piano and organ. Today (November 22, Christ the King Sunday), I played this as the Opening Hymn. However, as I implied in my previous post, we sang it to the tune, LAUS REGIS. It is #430 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. So ends the Church Year.
+mkl62 We sang this today as our opening hymn, but we used DARWALL's 148th as the tune even though our hymnal has LAUS REGIS. We just ended a sermon series called "The King, His Kingdom, His Heirs."
@NolePaul2006
And an outstanding organist.
There is another tune that this hymn can be sung to. It is LAUS REGIS, composed by William E. Fischer (1849-1936).
This hymn isn't considered contemporary enough at (my former church) St Francis of Assisi in Centerville, OH. The parish priest Father Phelps suggested we attend a church where older people attend in the downtown area of Dayton when I suggested we sing more traditional hymns, ones people are familiar with and would know well enough to participate singing.
Then your priest needs to get his head out of the seat of his cassock. I don't have much, if any, use for such a pastor. Good thing I'm not his bishop - one of us would have to go!
No doubt, but I'm glad that we do!
Rejoice, the Lord Is King
1. Rejoice, the Lord is King:
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Refrain:
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:
Refrain:
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 Jesus given:
Refrain:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
4. He sits at God’s right hand
Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,
And fall beneath His feet:
Refrain:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
5. Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home:
Refrain:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

Charles Wesley well be surprised to see catholics' sing his songs.
There's a soprano with operatic training in there somewhere. lol
A couple of us!

The soprano is the gal on the cover. She sends chills up my spine with her beautiful singing. I’d love to find out who she is. Anyone know? Or how to find out? It is really important to me that I discover that mystery minister.
Beautiful choir, i have my own choir and we do sing this song sometimes with our brass band, but it doesn't sound as good as this choir, beautiful, love it, thanks 4 posting this beautiful choir....
