Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #62 (1997) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Lyrics: 1 New songs of celebration render
to God who has great wonders done.
Love sits enthroned in ageless splendour;
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,
honour 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. Topics: Creation; Easter / Eastertide; Joy; Love; Metrical Psalms; Music / Singing / Song; Peace; Salvation; Truth Scripture: Psalm 98 Languages: English Tune Title: RENDEZ À DIEU
