The Psalter ‎#258

258. The Message of Redemption

1 O sing a new song to the Lord,
Sing all the earth and bless His Name;
From day to day His praise record,
The Lord's redeeming grace proclaim.

2 Tell all the world His wondrous ways,
Tell heathen nations far and near;
Great is the Lord, and great His praise,
And Him alone let nations fear.

3 The heathen gods are idols vain;
The shining heav'ns the Lord supports;
Both light and honor lead His train,
While strength and beauty fill His courts.

4 Let ev'ry tongue and ev'ry tribe
Give to the Lord due praise and sing;
All glory unto Him ascribe,
Come, throng His courts, and off'rings bring.

5 O fear and bow, adorned with grace,
And tell each land that God is King;
The earth He founded in its place,
And justice to the world will bring.

6 Let heaven be glad, let earth rejoice,
The teeming sea resound with praise;
Let waving fields lift high their voice.
And all the trees their anthem raise.

7 So let them shout before our God,
For, lo, He comes, He comes with might,
To wield the scepter and the rod,
To judge the world with truth and right.
