PSALM 98
OPTION A
METER: 76 76 D Iambic
SUGGESTED TUNE: AURELIA
This is the meter of the hymn, "The Church's One Foundation"
1. Sing to the Lord a new song,
He has done marv'lous things!
His right hand and arm holy
Have gotten victory.
The Lord made known his vict'ry,
His vindication known
In the sight of the nations
Throughout the whole wide earth.
2. His constant, faithful love he
To Israel recalled.
All of the nations have seen
The vict'ry of our God.
To him make joyful noises,
With songs of joy and praise.
With harp sing praises to him,
With lyre and melody.
3. With sound of horns and trumpets
Rejoice to God, the King!
Let seas roar, and all in them;
The world, and all therein.
Let oceans clap, let hills sing
For joy before the Lord,
Who comes to judge with justice
All peoples of the earth.
