O Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

  1. O righteous, in the Lord rejoice;
    how pleasant that with joyful voice
    God’s saints his name should praise.
    With harp and hymn of gladness sing,
    your gift of sweetest music bring,
    to him a new song raise.
  2. Let all the earth the Lord God fear;
    let all who dwell both far and near
    in awe before him stand!
    For, lo, he spoke and it was done,
    and all, with sov’reign pow’r begun,
    stood firm at his command.
  3. The Lord God from his throne on high
    looks down with clear and searching eye
    on all that dwell below.
    And he that fashioned heart and mind
    looks ever down on humankind
    the works of all to know.
  4. His eye is on all those who fear;
    to those who hope, the Lord is near
    according to his word.
    Death cannot touch those in his hand,
    nor trouble conquer in the land;
    we wait upon the Lord.
