Rejoice, Ye Righteous, in the Lord

Rejoice

ye right­eous

in the Lord

This work be­longs to you:

Sing of His name

His ways

His Word

How ho­ly

just and true!

His mer­cy and His right­eous­ness

Let Heav’n and earth pro­claim;

His works of na­ture and of grace

Reveal His won­drous name.

His wis­dom and al­migh­ty Word

The heav’n­ly arches spread

And by the Spir­it of the Lord

Their shin­ing hosts were made.

He bid the liq­uid wa­ters flow

To their ap­point­ed deep;

The flow­ing seas their lim­its know

And their own sta­tion keep.

Ye ten­ants of the spa­cious earth

With fear be­fore Him stand;

He spake

and na­ture took its birth

And rests on His com­mand.

He scorns the an­gry na­tions’ rage

And breaks their vain de­signs;

His coun­sel stands through ev­ery age

And in full glo­ry shines.
