New Songs of Celebration Render (Psalm 98)

Author: Erik Routley Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: A New Heaven and a New Earth First Line: New songs of celebration render Lyrics: 1 New songs of celebration render to God who has great wonders done; love sits enthroned in ageless splendor; come and adore the mighty One. God has made known the great salvation which all the saints with joy confess. God has revealed to every nation truth and unending righteousness. 2 Joyfully, heartily resounding, let every instrument and voice peal out the praise of grace abounding, calling the whole world to rejoice. Trumpets and organs, set in motion such sounds as make the heavens ring; all things that live in earth and ocean, sound forth the song; your praises bring. 3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring, honor the Lord with wild acclaim; mountains and stones, look up adoring, and find a voice to praise God's name. Righteous, commanding, ever glorious, praises be sung that never cease: just is our God, whose truth victorious establishes the world in peace. Scripture: Psalm 98 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

I Sing a Song of the Saints of God

Author: Lesbia Scott Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth Communion of the Saints; New Heaven and a New Earth Communion of the Saints Lyrics: 1. I sing a song of the saints of God, patient and brave and true, who toiled and fought and lived and died for the Lord they loved and knew. And one was a doctor, and one was a queen, and one was a shepherdess on the green; they were all of them saints of God, and I mean, God helping, to be one too. 2. They loved their Lord so dear, so dear, and his love made them strong; and they followed the right for Jesus' sake the whole of their good lives long. And one was a soldier, and one was a priest, and one was slain by a fierce wild beast; and there's not any reason, no, not the least, why I shouldn't be one too. 3. They lived not only in ages past; there are hundreds of thousands still. The world is bright with the joyous saints who love to do Jesus' will. You can meet them in school, on the street, in the store, in church, by the sea, in the house next door; they are saints of God, whether rich or poor, and I mean to be one too.

Refrain: I do not know how long ’twill be, nor what the future holds for me, but this I know: if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. 2 Oftentimes my sky is clear, joy abounds without a tear; though a day so bright begun, clouds may hide tomorrow’s sun. There’ll be a day that’s always bright, a day that never yields to night, and in its light the streets of glory I shall behold some day. (Refrain) 3 Harder yet may be the fight; right may often yield to might; wickedness a while may reign; Satan’s cause may seem to gain. There is a God that rules above, with hand of power and heart of love; if I am right, he’ll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. (Refrain) 4 Burdens now may crush me down, disappointments all around; troubles speak in mournful sigh, sorrow through a tear-stained eye. There is a world where pleasure reigns, no mourning soul shall roam its plains, and to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day. (Refrain) Used With Tune: SOMEDAY
