1 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, This work belongs to you: Sing of his name, his ways, his word, How holy, just, and true!
2 His mercy and his righteousness Let heaven and earth proclaim; His works of nature and of grace Reveal his wondrous name.
3 His wisdom and almighty word The heavenly arches spread; And by the Spirit of the Lord Their shining hosts were made.
4 He bid the liquid waters flow To their appointed deep; The flowing seas their limits know, And their own station keep.
5 Ye tenants of the spacious earth, With fear before him stand; He spake, and nature took its birth, And rests on his command.
6 He scorns the angry nations' rage, And breaks their vain designs; His counsel stands thro' every age, And in full glory shines.
