Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 4:4 Lyrics: 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 heaven and earth proclaim;
His works of nature, and of grace,
Reveal his wondrous name.
3 His word, with energy divine,
Those heavenly arches spread,
Bade starry hosts around them shine,
And light the heavens 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 speak, and nature took its birth
And rests on his command.
6 He scorns the angry nations' rage,
And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands through every age,
And in full glory shines. Topics: Being of God Existence; Creative Power of God
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord
