The Psalms of David ‎#279

279. Praise GOD all his Saints; or, The Saints judging the World

1 All ye that love the Lord, rejoice,
And let your Songs be new;
Amidst the Church with cheerful Voice
His later Wonders shew.

2 The Jews, the People of his Grace,
Shall their Redeemer sing;
And Gentile Nations join the Praise,
While Sion owns her King.

3 The Lord takes Pleasure in the Just,
Whom Sinners treat with Scorn;
The Meek that lie despis'd in Dust
Salvation shall adorn.

4 Saints should be joyful in their King,
E'en on a dying Bed;
And like the Souls in glory sing;
For GOD shall raise the dead.

5 Then his high Praise shall fill their Tongues
Their Hands shall wield the Sword;
And Vengeance shall attend their Songs,
The Vengeance of the Lord.

6 When Christ the Judgment Seat ascends,
And bids the World appear,
Thrones are prepar'd for all his Friends
Who humbly lov'd him here.

7 Then shall they rule with Iron Rod
Nations that dar'd rebel;
And join the Sentence of their GOD
On Tyrants doomed to Hell.

8 The Royal Sinners bound in Chains
New Triumphs shall afford:
Such Honour for the Saints remains;
Praise ye, and love the Lord.
