PSALM XCVI.
O sing to Jesus Christ a song
Of grace and novelty combin'd;
O swell an anthem sweet and strong,
Ye nations of mankind.
Of grace and novelty combin'd;
O swell an anthem sweet and strong,
Ye nations of mankind.
O sing, your blessed Saviour's name
With grateful blazonry display,
And let his love your breasts inflame
Day rising upon day.
With grateful blazonry display,
And let his love your breasts inflame
Day rising upon day.
91
His honour to the heathen shew,
And thence their grov'ling thoughts sublime,
And bring his wonders to the view
Of ev'ry realm and clime.
And thence their grov'ling thoughts sublime,
And bring his wonders to the view
Of ev'ry realm and clime.
For God is infinitely great,
Above all praise his merit tow'rs,
Above the magnitude and height
Of other thrones and pow'rs.
Above all praise his merit tow'rs,
Above the magnitude and height
Of other thrones and pow'rs.
All idols are but frail and fond,
To which the heathen pray'r's preferr'd;
But God made heav'n, and heav'n beyond,
By his Almighty Word.
To which the heathen pray'r's preferr'd;
But God made heav'n, and heav'n beyond,
By his Almighty Word.
Worship and glorious pomp precede,
Whene'er he makes his awful march,
And very pow'r and fame indeed
His temple over-arch.
Whene'er he makes his awful march,
And very pow'r and fame indeed
His temple over-arch.
Ascribe, ye families of love,
To God the gracious Lord of light;
Ascribe ye to the Lamb and Dove
The worship and the might.
To God the gracious Lord of light;
Ascribe ye to the Lamb and Dove
The worship and the might.
Ascribe ye to the Lord with zeal
The honour which his name supports,
And with our heart's free off'ring kneel,
And come into his courts.
The honour which his name supports,
And with our heart's free off'ring kneel,
And come into his courts.
With all the grace of praise and pray'r,
And adoration's meekest bow,
O let all tongues in fear declare
His truth, and pay their vow.
And adoration's meekest bow,
O let all tongues in fear declare
His truth, and pay their vow.
The Lord's supremacy maintain,
And bid the heathen folk believe
On him which fixt the starry train,
And judges to reprieve.
And bid the heathen folk believe
On him which fixt the starry train,
And judges to reprieve.
Rejoice ye to the FIRST and LAST,
The heav'ns and earth, with all that breathe,
And sea voluminous and vast,
With them that are beneath.
The heav'ns and earth, with all that breathe,
And sea voluminous and vast,
With them that are beneath.
Let all the verdant field be glad,
With ev'ry motion, ev'ry voice,
And trees, in blooming fragrance clad,
Before the Lord rejoice.
With ev'ry motion, ev'ry voice,
And trees, in blooming fragrance clad,
Before the Lord rejoice.
For lo! he comes, he comes to try,
And o'er the world supreme to sit,
When all that to his truth apply
His mercy shall acquit.
And o'er the world supreme to sit,
When all that to his truth apply
His mercy shall acquit.
