All Ye That Love The Lord Rejoice – Hymn Lyric
All ye that love the Lord, rejoice,
And let your songs be new;
Amidst the church with cheerful voice
His later wonders show.
The Jews, the people of his grace,
Shall their Redeemer sing;
And Gentile nations join the praise,
While Zion owns her King.
The Lord takes pleasure in the just,
Whom sinners treat with scorn;
The meek that lie despised in dust
Salvation shall adorn.
Saints should be joyful in their King,
E’en on a dying bed;
And like the souls in glory sing;
For God shall raise the dead.
Then his high praise shall fill their tongues
Their hands shall wield the sword;
And vengeance shall attend their songs,
The vengeance of the Lord.
When Christ the judgment-seat ascends,
And bids the world appear,
Thrones are prepared for all his friends
Who humbly loved him here.
Then shall they rule with iron rod
Nations that dared rebel;
And join the sentence of their God
On tyrants doomed to hell.
The royal sinners bound in chains
New triumphs shall afford:
Such honor for the saints remains;
Praise ye, and love the Lord!
Meaning of All Ye That Love The Lord Rejoice
Today, let us gather our hearts and minds to embark on a journey of true introspection and discovery. As we navigate through the realms of our inner being, we find ourselves invited to embrace both our vulnerability and strength, our human frailty, and our divine essence. The ancient words, “All ye that love the Lord, rejoice,” beckon us to not just surface-level happiness but to a deeper, soul-stirring joy that rises from a place of truth and acceptance.
In our lives, we encounter moments that challenge our faith and shake the very foundations of our beliefs. But it is in these moments that we must remember the divine promise – that the Lord takes pleasure in the just, even when the world treats them with scorn. This profound truth reminds us that our worth does not hinge on worldly validations but rather on the divine gaze that sees us as we are, with all our imperfections and beauty.
Imagine for a moment lying on a dying bed, as described, not with fear or regret, but with a heart full of song and praise. It paints a picture not of despair but of transcendence. Even in the valley of shadows, there is a call to be joyful, to sing like the souls in glory, for our journey does not end at the grave. God shall raise the dead, and with this promise, our hearts find solace and our spirits find courage.
As we uncover our truths and embrace our humanity, we begin to understand the significance of living a life centered in love and humility. When Christ ascends the judgment-seat, it is not a moment of trepidation but of realization – realizing that thrones are prepared not for the mighty and proud, but for those who loved humbly and walked gently on this earth. These thrones are a testament to the lives lived in quiet devotion and genuine selflessness.
In this spiritual narrative, the meek, the humble, and the despised find their ultimate redemption, their salvation adorned in grace. Our song, then, must not only be one of triumph over adversity but a melody of compassion, love, and deep connection with all of humanity. The power to rule with an iron rod is not about dominance but about righteous justice, a justice that stems from love and seeks to restore rather than condemn.
Let us be reminded that the royal sinners, the tyrants bound in chains, serve as a contrast to the saints’ triumphs. They highlight the profound honor and responsibility that comes with loving deeply and living justly. In understanding this, we are called not to wield our faith as a weapon but as a source of peace and transformation.
In conclusion, dear friends, our journey of self-discovery is one marked by profound truth and acceptance. Embrace your vulnerability, acknowledge your humanity, and let your song be one of compassion, understanding, and boundless love. In doing so, we enrich not only our own lives but the world around us, creating a ripple effect of divine grace. Praise ye, and love the Lord, for in this love, we find our true essence and our ultimate peace.
