1 All ye that love the Lord rejoice,
And let your songs be new;
Amidst the church with chearful voice
His later wonders shew.
2 The Jews, the people of his grace,
Shall their Redeemer sing;
And Gentile nations join the praise,
While Zion 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,
Ev'n 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 his 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 doom'd to hell.
8 The royal sinners bound in chains,
New triumph shall afford:
Such honor for the saint remains:
Praise ye and love the Lord.
