Sing to the Lord, Ye Distant Lands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 199 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands! Ye tribes of every tongue! His new discovered grace demands A new and nobler song. 2. Say to the nations, Jesus reigns, God’s own almighty Son; His power the sinking world sustains, And grace surrounds His throne. 3. Let Heav’n proclaim the joyful day; Joy through the earth be seen; Let cities shine in bright array, And fields in cheerful green. 4. Let an unusual joy surprise The islands of the sea; Ye mountains! sink; ye valleys, rise; Prepare the Lord His way. 5. Behold, He comes—He comes to bless The nations as their God; To show the world His righteousness, And send His truth abroad. 6. But when His voice shall raise the dead, And bid the world draw near, How will the guilty nations dread To see their judge appear! Used With Tune: OAKSVILLE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Psalm 102

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 154 hymnals First Line: Let Zion and her sons rejoice Lyrics: 1 Let Zion and her sons rejoice Behold the promised hour! Her God hath heard her mourning voice, And comes to exalt his power. 2 Her dust and ruins that remain Are precious in our eyes; Those ruins shall be built again, And all that dust shall rise. 3 The Lord will raise Jerusalem, And stand in glory there; Nations shall bow before his name, And kings attend with fear. 4 He sits a sovereign on his throne, With pity in his eyes, He hears the dying prisoners' groan, And sees their sighs arise. 5 He frees the souls condemned to death; Nor, when his saints complain, Shall it be said that praying breath Was ever spent in vain.

Henceforth, O Death! where is thy sting? Thy victory, O Grave!"

Sing loud with solemn voice; Let every tongue exalt his praise, And every heart rejoice. 4 Earth shall obey her Maker's will, And yield a full increase; Our God will crown his chosen land With fruitfulness and peace. 5 God, the Redeemer, scatters round His choicest favors here, While the creation's utmost bound Shall see, adore, and fear.
