Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXLIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book Lyrics: 1 All ye that love the Lord, rejoice,
And let your songs be new;
Amidst the church with cheerful voice
His later wonders show.
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 honour for the saint remains:
Praise ye and love the Lord. Topics: Praise God, all his Saints Scripture: Psalm 149 Languages: English
All ye that love the Lord, rejoice
