Lyrics

All ye who love your mak­er’s name,
And on His truth re­ly,
Through all the earth His grace pro­claim,
And raise His hon­ors high.

All ye who make the Lord your trust,
His won­drous acts re­cite;
The good, the faith­ful and the just,
Your ter­ror and de­light.

Sing of His mer­cies, all ye saints,
Declare His judg­ments too;
Tell of His ven­geance to his foes,
And all His love to you.
