And Gentile Nations join the Praise,
While Zion owns her KING.
2 The LORD takes Pleafure in the Juft,
Whom Sinners treat with Scorn:

For GoD fhall raise the Dead.
3 Then his high Praife fhall fill their Tongue,
Their Hands fhall wield the Sword;
And Vengeance fhall attend their Songs,

And bids the World appear,
Thrones are prepar'd for all his Friends
Who humbly lov'd Him here.
4 Then fhall they rule with Iron-Rod
Nations that dar'd rebel:
And join the Sentence of their GOD,
On Tyrants doom'd to Hell.
The Royal Sinners bound in Chains,
New Triumphs fhall afford:
Such Honour for the Saints remains:
Praife ye and love the LORD..
OME praife the LORD,ye tuneful Bands,
New Streams of Joy your GoD demands,
New Mercies all your Praifes claim.
2 Let Ifrael's Tribes, with Bleffings crown'd,

And Sion's Sons with Joy refound
The endless Glories of their KING.
He bends complacent to your Praife,
Your God approves the beft Employ;
The thankful Meek his Love will raise
To Crowns of everlasting Joy.
4 O let the Saints aloud rejoice,
And Sounds of Glory fill the Song;
All Day let Rapture tune their Voice,
And Night the blissful Strain prolong.
