Glory And Graces

Tune: Unser Herrscher* (*Our Ruler, Lord, etc)

('Come ye faithful, raise the anthem')

Psalm 96

*********

O sing to the LORD a new song

Make His praises all day long

Sing unto the LORD, all the earth

All whom He has granted birth

Sing unto the LORD, bless His name

Name of honour, worthy fame

 

Show forth His salvation daily

Spread it universally

Declare His glory midst nations

Unto all earth's daughters, sons

Show His wonders midst all people

They shine bright and glorious all

 

For the LORD is great, and greatly

To be praised, reverently

He to be feared above gods all

Let us praise Him, hear His call

For gods of nations are idols

Without any life or souls

 

But the LORD the heavens He made

'Tis His creation displayed

Before Him honour, majesty

Arrayed in resplendency

Strength, beauty in His sanctuary

Worship him now thankful, free

 

Give unto the LORD, you people

Glory and strength, you not fall

Give unto the LORD the glory

Due unto His name, so be

Bring an offering to Him give

In His presence you shall live

 

Worship the LORD in the beauty

Of holiness joyfully

Fear before Him all the earth, stand

In awe of Him every land

Say among the nations, that He

The LORD reigns for e'er, so be

 

The world also established be

That it shall not move or flee

The LORD shall judge the people right

Heavens rejoice in His sight

And let the earth be glad, sea roar

All in it, to farthest shore

 

Let fields be joyful, all therein

And too woods their song begin

Before the LORD, for He comes to

Judge the earth with justice true

With righteousness, and the people

With His truth, e'en one and all
