Ye Worshipers of God, him praise. From Iacob who proceed; Him glorify, and reverence him, O all ye Isr'el's Seed. For he hath not despis'd, nor turn'd From the afflicted's Grief, Nor hid his Face from him; but heard His Cries, and sent Relief. I'll shout thy Praise, when e'er the great Assembly meets to pray; Before his Saints, that fear his Name, The Vows I've made, I'll pay. The Poor shall eat, and be suffic'd, And Thanks to God shall give: They that uprightly seek him shall In Joys immortal, live. Earth's distant Ends shall recollect, And turn unto the Lord; All Kindreds of the Nations shall, To worship Thee, accord. For universal Monarchy, To God alone, pertains; He sov'rain Ruler, uncontrol'd, O'er all the Nations reigns. The Rich shall eat, and him adore; And who in Dustly low, Who cannot keep alive his Soul, Before his Face shall bow. Then shall a chosen Seed him serve; Which God for his will own. To Men unborn, his Truth, he'll shew, And Wonders he hath done.
