Sing to the LORD, Ye Distant Lands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 199 hymnals Topics: Christmas Season Lyrics: 1 Sing to the LORD, ye distant lands, ye tribes of ev'ry tongue; his new-discovered grace demands a new and nobler song. Tell all the nations, "Jesus reigns, God's own almighty Son; his pow'r the sinking world sustains, and grace surrounds his throne." 2 Let heav'n proclaim the joyful day; let joy on earth be seen; let cities shine in bright array, and fields in cheerful green. Let joy above all joys surprise the islands of the sea; ye mountains sink; ye valleys rise; prepare the LORD his way. 3 Behold, he comes, he comes to bless the nations as their God, to show the world his righteousness, and send his truth abroad. But when his voice shall raise the dead, and bid the world draw near, how will the guilty nations dread to see their judge appear. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
