The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5305

5305. O Sing a New Song to the Lord

1. O sing a new song to the Lord,
Sing all the earth to God;
In daily praises bless His name
And tell His grace abroad.
Among the nations far and wide
His glory celebrate;
To all the peoples of the earth
His wondrous works relate.

2. The Lord is great above all gods,
Let glad hosannas rise;
The heathen gods are idols vain;
Jehovah made the skies.
Great honor is before His face,
And majesty divine;
Within His holy dwelling-place
Both strength and beauty shine.

3. Let all the peoples of the earth
Give glory to the Lord,
Give Him the glory due His name
And strength to Him accord;
With offerings come ye to His courts,
In holy beauty bow,
Let all the earth with reverence come
And serve Jehovah now.

4. To all the nations of the earth
The blessèd tidings bring;
Tell all the world Jehovah reigns,
The universal King.
The world shall therefore stand unmoved,
Established by His might;
And just is He to judge the wrong
And vindicate the right.

5. Let Heaven and earth and sounding sea
To Him glad tribute bring;
Let field and wood and all therein
Before Jehovah sing;
For, lo, He comes to judge the earth,
And all the world shall see
His everlasting faithfulness,
His truth and equity.
