Lyrics

Sing a new song to Je­ho­vah,
For the wonders He has wrought,
His right hand and arm most holy
Triumph to His cause have brought.
In His love and tender mercy
He has made sal­va­tion known,
In the sight of every nation
He His right­eous­ness has shown.

Truth and mercy toward His people
He has ever kept in mind,
And His full and free sal­va­tion
He has shown to all mankind.
Sing, O earth, sing to Je­ho­vah,
Praises to Je­ho­vah sing;
With the swelling notes of music
Shout before the Lord, the King.

Seas and all your fullness, thunder,
All earth’s peoples, now rejoice,
Floods and hills, in praise uniting,
To the Lord lift up your voice.
For, behold, Je­ho­vah cometh,
Robed in justice and in might;
He alone will judge the nations,
And His judg­ment shall be right.
