In preparation for a series I am preaching this week, I came across this new hymn written by the composer of MAJESTY, Dr. Jack Hayford. Great words as you prepare to worship on this Lord's Day.
WORSHIP CHRIST THE RISEN KING
Tune: Angels From the Realms of Glory
Rise, O Church, and lift your voices,
Christ has conquered death and hell.
Sing as all the earth rejoices;
Resurrection anthems swell.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the Risen King.
See the tomb where death had laid Him,
Empty now, its mouth declares:
"Death and I could not contain Him,
For the Throne of Life He shares."
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the Risen King.
Hear the earth protest and tremble,
See the stone removed with pow'r;
All hell's minions may assemble
But cannot withstand is hour.
He has conquered, He has conquered,
Christ the Lord, the Risen King.
Doubt may lift its head to murmur,
Scoffers mock and sinners jeer;
But the truth proclaims a wonder
Thoughtful hearts receive with cheer.
He is risen, He is risen,
Now receive the Risen King!
We acclaim your life, O Jesus,
Now we sing your victory;
Sin or hell may seek to seize us
But your conquest keeps us free.
Stand in triumph, stand in triumph,
Worship Christ, the Risen King!
Have a great day in worship!
