Rejoice ye righteous in the Lord,
Your portion and your great reward;
To you full streams of blessing flow,
From springs above and springs below.
Constant supplies of outward good,
Your nightly sleep and daily food;
Your health and strength and faithful friends,
And happiness that never ends.
Amidst the pangs that nature feels,
From various complicated ills,
Conscience still smiles, and all within
Is calm, unclouded and serene.
Through death’s dark valley when you pass,
There shall you find sufficient grace;
‘Tis but the path your Saviour trod,
A short and safe though thorny road.
Dislodged from flesh, you straight shall rise
To you bright mansions in the skies;
Where far from earth, secure from hell,
No foes assault, nor lusts rebel.
