Church Hymn Book ‎#P.XXXIII.I

P.XXXIII.I. Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord

1 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord,
This work belongs to you;
Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
How holy, just, and true!

2 His mercy and his righteousness
Let heav'n and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wond'rous name.

3 His word, with energy divine,
The heav'nly arches spread,
Bade starry hosts around them shine,
And light the heav'ns pervade.

4 He taught the swelling waves to flow
To their appointed deep;
Bade raging seas their limits know,
And still their station keep.

5 Ye tenants of the spacious earth,
With fear before him stand;
He spake, and nature took its birth,
And rests on his command.

6 He scorns the angry nation's' rage,
And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands thro' every age,
And in full glory shines.
