HYMN 593. Works of grace to the Church.
Psalm 149.1.
PRaise ye the Lord, sing to the Lord
a new-composed Song:
His memorable praise record
where all his Saints do throng.
[verse 2] Let joyfull Israel shout and sing
in their Creatour's Name:
Let Sion's Children in their King
triumphant joys proclaim.
[verse 3] In dances let them praise his Name,
the Harp before him bring:
And joyn the Timbrel to the same,
with these his praises sing.
[verse 4] For lo! the Lord exceedingly,
in Israel doth delight:
The humble he will beautifie
with robes of saving might.
[verse 5] In glory let the Saints be joy'd,
sing loud upon their bed:
And their Religious mouths imploy'd
[verse 6] the Lord's high praise to spread.
And with a double edged Sword,
put here into their hands,
[verse 7] Inflict the vengeance of the Lord
upon the heathen lands.
