OR THIS [PSALM XCVIII.]
O sing a new song,
and sound an alarm
In Christ, who has done
vast deeds of amaze;
With his mighty prowess,
and God's holy arm
He has prov'd victorious
o'er wonder and praise.
and sound an alarm
In Christ, who has done

With his mighty prowess,
and God's holy arm
He has prov'd victorious

The Lord has made known
his marvellous grace,
To save the whole world,
submitting to view
His virtue and merits
throughout the wide space
Of service and empire,
to Gentile and Jew.

His mercy and truth
for us has he shewn,
Remembring his oath
with Abraham his friend;
Of gospel salvation
good tidings have flown
From Dan to Beersheba,
and to the world's end.

O make yourselves glad
in God, all ye lands,
Ye nations and tongues
your Saviour proclaim,
With sweet exultation,
and palms in your hands,
Present your thanksgiving,
and dwell on his name.

His goodness extol
with hand on the lyre,
And as the strings vie
in songs of delight;
In joy to Jehovah,
ye psalmists aspire,
As gratitude dictates,
his praises recite.

With soul-soothing shawms,
in tune to the wings
Of breezes serene
O temper your mirth,
And with the shrill trumpet
sound, hail King of kings,
Thy creatures adore thee
their Saviour on earth.

Let sea make a noise,
his legions and shoals,
Which glide on his wave,
or love the still deep,
And let the round convex
exult on his poles,
With all that beneath it
God's benefits reap.

Resound ye proud floods
with glorious applause,
And soar as the hills
which range on the shore;
Let both bless together
the Lord and his laws,
For he comes in judgment
the world to restore.

'Tis he comes to judge
in mercy supream
The just for unjust,
to live and to die,
When his sinful people
his love shall redeem,
And to the lost myriads
his merits apply.
