LET all the just to God with joy

LET all the just to God with joy Their cheerful voices raise; For well the righteous it becomes To sing glad songs of praise.

For faithful is the word of God, His works with truth abound; He justice loves, and all the earth is with His goodness crown'd.

By His almighty word at first The heavenly arch was rear'd; And all the beauteous hosts of light At His command appear'd.

Whate'er the Mighty Lord decrees, Shall stand for ever sure; The settled purpose of His heart To ages shall endure.

How happy, then, are they to whom The Lord for God is known; Whom He, from all the world besides, Has chosen for His own!

Our soul on God with patience waits, Our help and shield is He; Then, Lord, let still our hearts rejoice, Because we trust in Thee.

The riches of Thy mercy, Lord, Since we, for all we want or wish, On Thee alone depend. Tate and Brady,
