Judgement Joyfulness

Fits tune: Lyngham

(one tune to \'O for a thousand tongues to sing\')

Note: this is the tune that has the \'repeats\' or \'extensions\'

on some of the lines.

Psalm 98

********

1. O sing unto the LORD a song

If old, new, short, or long (repeat second line of each verse once)

For He has done marvellous things

Creation to Him sings (repeat last line of each verse twice)

 

2. His right hand, and His holy arm

Has brought victory, balm

The LORD His salvation made known

He all the world has shown

 

3. His righteousness displayed openly

To all heathen, they see

He has remembered His truth, mercy

To His people it be

 

4. And all the ends of the earth have seen

God\'s salvation, not mean

But extending to all the world

His love\'s banner unfurled

 

5. Unto the LORD make a joyful noise

Men, women, girls, and boys

Make a loud noise, noise to be heard

To Christ, th\' eternal Word

 

6. Rejoice, sing praises, loud outburst

For redeemed now, not cursed

Are we, for Christ took penalty

That should by due ours be

 

7. Sing to the Lord with harp and psalm

He brings to lives His calm

With trumpets, cornets, joyful extol

The LORD, King over all

 

8. Let the sea roar, and all therein

The world and all within

Let the floods their hands clap, be glad

No more now mourn or sad

 

9. Let the hills be joyful, as one

Before the LORD, for none

Shall stop His judgement of the earth

He shall judge with true worth

 

10. For He does come, He shall return

And all nations shall learn

That He shall judge with righteousness

And with equity bless
