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.
---Alternative verses---
His wisdom and almighty word
The heavens around him spread;
And by the Spirit of the Lord
Their universe was made.
Ye tenants of the spacious earth,
With fear before him stand
Through him all beings had their birth,
All live at his command.
He scorns each unbeleiver's rage,
And breaks all proud designs;
His counsels stand through every age,
His glory ever shines.
