Psalm 98
Words: Brady and Tate, A New Version of the Psalms of David
1 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.
2 The Lord has through th' astonish'd world
displayed his saving might,
And made his righteous acts appear
in all the heathen's sight.
3 Of Israel's house his love and truth
have ever mindful been;
Wide earth's remotest parts the pow'r
of Israel's God have seen.
4 Let therefore earth's inhabitants
their cheerful voices raise,
And all with universal joy
resound their Maker's praise.
5 With harp and hymn's soft melody
into the concert bring
6 The trumpet and shrill cornet's sound,
before th' Almighty King.
7 Let the loud ocean roar her joy,
with all that seas contain;
The earth and her inhabitants
join concert with the main.
8 With joy let riv'lets swell to streams,
to spreading torrents they;
And echoing vales from hill to hill
redoubled shouts convey;
9 To welcome down the world's great Judge,
who does with justice come,
And with impartial equity
both to reward and doom.
