Worship Wholesomeness

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!).

        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.
