PSALM 29
METER: 10 10 11 11
SUGGESTED TUNE: LYONS or HANOVER
This is the same meter as the hymn "O Worship the King."
1. Ascribe to the Lord, O beings of heav'n,
Ascribe to the Lord all glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord his most glorious name,
And worship the Lord God in holy array.
2. The voice of the Lord is heard in the seas,
On waters God's glory thunders in might.
The voice of the Lord is so mighty with pow'r;
Majestic indeed is the voice of the Lord.
3. The voice of the Lord the cedars does break,
The cedars of Lebanon he breaks down.
He makes Lebanon for to skip like a calf,
Like a young wild ox he makes Mount Hermon leap.
4. The voice of the Lord shoots forth flames of fire.
The wilderness shakes, the wastes of Kadesh.
His voice makes the oaks whirl, and strips forests bare;
And all in his Temple cry, "Glory to God!"
5. The Lord sits enthroned high over the flood;
The Lord sits enthroned forever as king.
May God in his mercy his people give strength.
May God ever bless all his people with peace.
