"Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints.... For the Lord taketh pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds" (Psalm 149:1,4,5).
I have heard the invitation
From my Lord to gladly sing
His praise within the congregation
Where His saints are worshiping.
Sing, O saints! For you know well
The noblest saint is stained with sin,
And thus has earned eternal hell,
But for the grace that entered in.
Sing, for God has beautified
The sinners whom He now calls saints.
Sing! Since Christ for us has died,
Should not our joy eclipse complaints?
Sing, O saints, in joyful glory;
Sing aloud upon your bed!
Awake to find the Gospel story
Is everything our God has said!
