Praise GOD all his Saints; or, The Saints judging the World

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #CXLIX (1780) First Line: All ye that love the Lord rejoice Lyrics: 1 All ye that love the Lord rejoice, And let your songs be new; Amidst the church with chearful voice His later wonders shew. 2 The Jews, the people of his grace, Shall their Redeemer sing; And Gentile nations join the praise, While Zion owns her King. 3 The Lord takes pleasure in the just; Whom sinners treat with scorn; The meek that lie despis'd in dust Salvation shall adorn. 4 Saints should be joyful in their King, Ev'n on a dying bed: And like the souls in glory sing; For God shall raise the dead. 5 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. 6 When Christ his judgment-seat ascends, And bids the world appear, Thrones are prepar'd for all his friends Who humbly lov'd him here. 7 Then shall they rule with iron rod Nations that dar'd rebel; And join the sentence of their GOD On tyrants doom'd to hell. 8 The royal sinners bound in chains, New triumph shall afford: Such honor for the saint remains: Praise ye and love the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 149 Languages: English

In vain they worship glittering dust, And pray to gold in vain. 6 [Their gods have tongues that cannot talk, Such as their makers gave; Their feet were ne'er designed to walk, Nor hands have pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor hear when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 O Britain know thy living God, Serve him with faith and fear; He makes thy churches his abode, And claims thine honors there.
