A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)
"Rejoicing in God"
1. Bless, O my soul, thy Father's name -
Exalt the Son of God -
The Holy Spirit's work proclaim,
And cov'nant love record.
2. Guilty, deprav'd, and vile I stood,
Yea, sunk in deep distress;
But now redeem'd by precious blood,
And cloth'd with righteousness.
3. My God prepar'd, reveals, and gives
This precious wedding dress;
Hence I shall live, for Jesus lives,
The Lord my righteousness.
4. The FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST
Unite, the church to bless;
Henceforth my soul shall make her boast,
In Christ my righteousness.
