257. The Evangel of the Kingdom

1 O sing a new song to the Lord,
Sing all the earth to God;
In daily praises bless His Name
And tell His grace abroad.
Among the nations far and wide
His glory celebrate;
To all the peoples of the earth
His wondrous works relate.

2 The Lord is great above all gods,
Let glad hosannas rise;
The heathen gods are idols vain;
Jehovah made the skies.
Great honor is before his face,
And majesty divine;
Within His holy dwelling-place
Both strength and beauty shine.

3 Let all the peoples of the earth
Give glory to the Lord,
Give Him the glory due His Name
And strength to Him accord;
With off'rings come ye to His courts,
In holy beauty bow,
Let all the earth with rev'rence come
And serve Jehovah now.

4 To all the nations of the earth
The blessed tidings bring;
Tell all the world Jehovah reigns,
The universal King.
The world shall therefore stand unmoved,
Established by His might;
And just is He to judge the wrong
And vindicate the right.

5 Let heav'n and earth and sounding sea
To Him glad tribute bring;
Let field and wood and all therein
Before Jehovah sing;
For, lo, He comes to judge the earth,
And all the world shall see
His everlasting faithfulness,
His truth and equity.
