A Joyful Gospel. Ps. 89. 15-18; 3. 8

1 Blest are the souls that hear and know
  The gospel’s joyful sound;
  Peace shall attend the path they go,
  And light their steps surround.

2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up,
  Through their Redeemer’s name;
  His righteousness exalts their hope,
  Nor Satan dares condemn.

3 The Lord, our glory and defence,
  Strength and salvation gives;
  Israel, thy King for ever reigns,
  Thy God for ever lives.
