263. The Glad Tidings

1 Unto God our Saviour
Sing a joyful song;
Wondrous are His doings,
For His arm is strong.
He has brought salvation,
He has made it known,
And before the nations
Is His justice shown.

2 He remembers mercy,
Faithful to His own,
And our God's salvation
All the earth has known.
Joyful, all ye people,
Sing before the Lord;
Shout and sing His praises
Now in glad accord.

3 Waves of mighty ocean,
Earth with fullness stored,
Floods and fields and mountains,
Sing before the Lord;
For He comes with justice,
Evil to redress,
And to judge the nations
In His righteousness.
