All ye that love the Lord, rejoice,
And let your songs be new;
Amidst the church with cheerful voice
His later wonders show.
The Jews, the people of his grace,
Shall their Redeemer sing;
And Gentile nations join the praise,
While Zion owns her King.
The Lord takes pleasure in the just,
Whom sinners treat with scorn;
The meek that lie despised in dust
Salvation shall adorn.
Saints should be joyful in their King,
E'en on a dying bed;
And like the souls in glory sing;
For God shall raise the dead.
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.
When Christ the
judgment-seat ascends,
And bids the world appear,
Thrones are prepared
for all his friends
Who humbly loved him here.
Then shall they rule with iron rod
Nations that dared rebel;
And join the sentence of their God
On tyrants doomed to hell.
The royal sinners bound in chains
New triumphs shall afford:
Such honor for the saints remains;
Praise ye, and love the Lord!
---Alternative verses---
The Lord takes pleasure in the just,
Whom sinners treat with scorn;
The meek who lie despised in dust
Salvation shall adorn.
Saints shall be joyful in their King,
E'en on a dying bed;
And like the souls in glory sing;
For God shall raise the dead.
When Christ his judgment-seat ascends,
And bids the world appear,
Thrones are prepared for all his friends
Who humbly loved him here.
