Ye righteous in the Lord rejoice,
To Him your voices raise:
For well the righteous it becomes
To sing glad songs of praise.
Behold! the Lord on all his saints
Looks down with pitying eyes:
His mercy saves their souls from death,
And every want supplies.
Our souls on God with patience wait:
Our help and shield is He:
Thrice Holy Lord! our hearts rejoice
Because we trust in thee.
The riches of thy mercy, Lord,
Do thou to us extend;
Since we, for all we want, or wish,
On Thee alone depend.
