Tune: Was Lebet, Was Schwebet
('O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness')
Psalm 96
The first verse is traditionally repeated at the end.
*******
O sing to the Lord a new song, sing all the earth
Praise and adore Him and give Him His worth
Sing to the LORD, bless His name, show His salvation
From day to day, spread it to each nation
Declare His glory among the people and show
His wonders to all that they may sure know
For the LORD is great, and He greatly to be praised
Let all honour Him, His name be upraised
For all gods of the nations are idols, but He
The LORD made the heavens and the earth, see
Honour and majesty are before Him, beauty
And strength they be in His sanctuary
Give to the LORD all peoples, strength and the glory
Due to His name, bring an offering free
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness
Fear before Him all the earth, His name bless
Say midst the peoples that the LORD reigns for ever
The world established, shall be moved never
And the LORD shall judge righteously, with equity
heavens, earth be glad, he rules faithfully
Creation join in praise, earth, sea, forests, and fields
The LORD comes, everything pleasantness yields
For he shall judge righteously, with truth, justice fair
Of His goodness he shall give us a share
O sing to the Lord a new song, sing all the earth
Praise and adore Him and give Him His worth
Sing to the LORD, bless His name, show His salvation
From day to day, spread it to each nation

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 12.10.12.10. metre. An Epiphany season hymn in the clip. The actual title appears in the Psalm (verse 4). I thought I would attempt this, with the longer lines too - bit tricky. It may not run smoothly in places. What do you think?

Good stuff O
Thanks M. A bit of an epic write? But yesterday I saw a hymn with 13 verses x 2 lines each, plus a Chorus to be sung 13 times! Phew! it would have half-killed us. We sang the next hymn in the book though. I've used up all my berles for today - 44 each verse x 7 verses = 308 syllables.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ Brian Here ~ Love Chester & the Cathedral ~ have oft visted ! Great HYMN with a great CALL to WORSHIP ! Non-Christians miss out on so much GLORY !
Very uplifting POEM based on a great song ! To write a 12 10 12 10 Rhyming Poem ~ An accomplishment indeed ! You deserve to be the POET LAURRIE ATE ! Psalm 96 has a powerful MESSAGE for all time !
GOD is Here ~ GOD is Now
Its a time for CELEBRATION !
Our Praises need not be confined to OLD SONGS (please note)
Nor do we need MassiveChoirs or Great Organs to Praise GOD
Let us create New Songs ~ to praise Our GOD ~ Amen
Let us discover New Ways of Procliaming HIS GLORY !
Thanks for Sharing & Caring
Blessings & Joy to YOU & YOUR Precocious Pooch
Love in the Spirit BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙
Thanks B&A. Ya gotta allow that I'm very old (since before 1066 at least), so I dig up ye olde hymns! Well, even David's Psalms and other writers of the Psalms are about 3,000 years old - the oldest of all! heehee. But I know what you mean - Hymns Ancient AND Modern for worship!
where would we find it
