Lyics

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.



The Lord has through th' astonish'd world

Display'd his saving might,

And made his righteous acts appear

In all the heathen's sight.



Of Israel's house his love and truth

Have ever mindful been;

Wide earth's remotest parts the power

Of Israel's God have seen.



Let therefore earth's inhabitants

Their cheerful voices raise;

And all, with universal joy,

Resound their Maker's praise.



Let the loud ocean roar her joy,

With all the seas contain;

The earth, and her inhabitants,

Join concert with the main.



With joy let riv'lets swell to streams,

To spreading torrents they;

And echoing vales from hill to hill

Redoubled shouts convey;



To welcome down the world's great Judge,

Who does with justice come,

And with impartial equity,

Both to reward and doom.
