Fits tune: Culbach
(one tune to 'Songs of praise the angels sang')
Psalm 96
********
1. Sing to the LORD a new song
Sing it loud and sing it long
All the earth join in the praise
And His wondrous name up raise
2. Sing to the LORD, His name bless
And His saving deeds confess
Show forth His salvation sure
Day to day for evermore
3. Among the heathen declare
His glory, for He is there
Among all people now tell
His wonders, all things done well
4. For the LORD high, great He is
Greatly to be praised, 'tis bliss
To Him praise above, and fear
Him above all gods, He near
5. The gods of the nations be
Nothing but idolatry
But the LORD the heavens made
And our redemption price paid
6. Before Him there be honour
Majesty on Him confer
Strength and beauty there they be
Where He dwells, His sanctuary
7. Give unto the LORD glory
And strength, all you people see
That He worthy, this His due
To receive glory from you
8. Bring an offering, and come
To His courts, contribute some
Words, deeds, praises, thankfully
The great God of all He be
9. Worship the LORD in beauty
Of holiness, pure and free
All the earth before Him fear
Respecting His presence here
10. Say among the heathen, say
The LORD reigns, eternal day
he bring in judgement true
And in righteousness renew
11. The world stablished it shall be
Not be moved, be strong and free
Let the heavens and earth be glad
No more downcast, no more sad
12. Let the sea too, fields rejoice
And extol Him with one voice
Righteously He shall judge all
And with truth, we shall not fall

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 77 77 metre. Erm, sorry about the empty church! There's several tunes to this hymn, I see. One clip had words to it, but it was some blasphemous nonsense that someone had posted! (this clip isn't it!).

Great write orchidee!
Thanks WBL.
God write, I sing to The Lord every week in the Church Choir.
Well done, G/F! There's a praise-y group of Psalms from 95 - 100, you may know, and many other praise-y ones from the book of 150 Psalms.
