Creation Chorus

orchidee



Tune: St Timothy

('My Father, for another night

= 'O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

Psalm 96 v.11-13 and Psalm 98 v.8-9

**********

Let heavens rejoice, let earth be glad

Remain no longer sad

Let seas resound, and all that be

Created by God free

 

Let fields be jubilant, each thing

In them to the Lord sing

Along with trees of the forest

They sing for joy, God-blest

 

For He comes for to judge the earth

And give justice, true worth

Let rivers clap their hands, proclaim

The Lord, His holy name

 

Let mountains all together sing

For joy, and praises bring

To the Lord, sing before Him here

And know His presence near

 

For He comes to judge the earth sure

The world righteously, pure

And judge people with equity

He great Creator be

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. From a small booklet on creation - Creation will rejoice. There are environmentalists, conservationists, etc, who do good, though God will judge those who abuse Nature. So creation will be put right, restored, and rejoice in Him.
