Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P149 (1766) Lyrics: 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.
