Representative Text

1 Sing to the LORD, a new made song,
Who wondrous things has done;
With His right hand and holy arm
the conquest He has won.

2 The LORD has through th'astonish'd world
displayed His saving might,
And made His righteous acts appear
in all the heathen's sight.

3 Of Israel's house His love and truth
have ever mindful been;
Wide earth's remotest parts the pow'r
of Israel's God have seen.

4 Let therefore earth's inhabitants
their cheerful voices raise;
And all with universal joy
resound their Maker's praise.

5 With harp and hymn's soft melody
into the concert bring
The trumpet and shrill cornet's sound,
before the'Almighty King.

6 Let the loud ocean roar her joy,
with all that seas contain;
The earth and her inhabitants
join concert with the main.

7 With joy let riv'lets swell to streams,
to spreading torrents they;
And echoing vales from hill to hill
redoubled shouts convey;

8 To welcome down the world's great Judge,
who dies with justice come,
And with impartial equity
both to reward and doom.

Notes

Sing to the Lord a new-made song, Who wondrous things, &. Tate & Brady. [ Ps. xcviii.] This N. V. (1696) paraphrase of Ps. 98 is not in common use. The cento given in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866, as No. 98, is composed of st. i.-iv. from this paraphrase, and st. v., vi., of Bishop Mant's version of the same psalm, 1824.
