Sing of Salvation

orchidee



Tune: Hanover

('O worship the King')

Psalm 98

********

O sing unto the Lord a new song free

For he has done marvellous things, here see

His right hand* and His holy arm* they have won (*symbols of power)

The victory, His strength compares unto none

 

The Lord has made known His great salvation

His righteousness He showed to each nation

He has remembered His truth and His mercy

Towards His people, loving, kind, faithful He

 

And all the ends of the earth they have see

The salvation of our God it has been

Shown to all nations, come and make a joyful

Noise to the Lord, all the earth, now praise Him all

 

Make a loud noise and break forth into song

Rejoice and sing praise through all your life long

Sing to the Lord with instruments and with voice

Let sounds of songs be heard, He made you His choice

 

And let nature join too, let the sea roar

The whole world and they that dwell there for sure

Let rivers clap their hands, let hills rejoice, for

The Lord comes to judge righteously evermore

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 10.10.11.11. My skill does not seem to stretch to rhyming mid-lines as well as end-lines, as some hymns with longer lines do. I could have perhaps broken it down into 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5. lines as in the hymn in the clip, which is based on Psalm 104.

    It seems that God is a music lover and likes to party. A good read Orchi. A joyous hymn and nicely done, it has a bit of different flavor from the style of your usual ones. Liked it

      Thank you S. Yes, a break from the OT/NT series, which may be ending soon. The words\' break forth into song' (stanza 4, line 1) are added as extra words in my Bible margin, by way of explanation. I\'ve called it \'stanza\' so as not to confuse it with Bible \'verse\'. Pity it\'s ME that\'s gonna break into song, or screeching! lol.
      Must you sing it 20 times, they ask me? heehee.

        You are most welcome Orchi I long ago found the solution to my singing, I sing with a pipe organ large enough to drown out my voice

        • orchidee

          Lol.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Orchi, this hymn carries real weight. It’s confident, grounded, and joy-forward without slipping into sentimentality. This praise is earned, and the seriousness holds even when you let Popeye glug and Ol’ Tom knit Scooby a tube sock on the side. That balance works really works! 🤣🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            I genuinely enjoy this; it brings back memories of my time in catholic school.

              I love the image of the rivers and hills themselves rejoicing. Beautiful poem

                Thank you M. A symbolic picture in part - not seen any trees with hands clapping. Have you?! lol.

                • Megan Blaney
