Righteous Reign

orchidee



Tune: Lubeck (or Riley)

('Songs of praise the angels sang')

Psalm 96 v.9-13

********

Worship God in the beauty

Of holiness, the Lord He

Fear before Him all the earth

Revere, honour, give Him worth

 

Say among the heathen, say

The Lord reigns, e'en every day

The world also shall still stand

And unshaken be the land

 

The Lord shall judge the people

Righteously, e'en one and all

Let the heavens rejoice, sing

For equity He shall bring

 

Let the earth be glad and raise

Songs, and let the seas Him praise

Let fields be joyful anew

Trees of wood celebrate too

 

For the Lord He comes, judgement

To bring, shall not e'er relent

Shall judge with truth, righteousness

Justice, fairness, shall us bless
