Come, Let Us Sing Before the Lord

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: From Étienne-Nicolas Méhul (1763–1817)

Come

let us sing be­fore the Lord

New songs of praise with sweet ac­cord

For won­ders great by Him are done

His migh­ty arm has vic­to­ry won.

The great sal­va­tion of our God

Is seen through all the earth abroad;

Before the na­tions’ won­der­ing sight

He has re­vealed His truth and right.

He called to mind the truth and grace

Bestowed up­on His chos­en race

And un­to earth’s re­mot­est bound

Glad tid­ings of sal­va­tion sound.

All lands

to God lift up your voice

Sing praise to Him

with shouts re­joice;

With voice of joy and loud ac­claim

Let all unite and praise His name.

Praise ye the Lord with harp and song

With voice of psalms His praise pro­long;

In swell­ing chor­us glad­ly sing

And shout be­fore the Lord

the king.

Let earth be glad

let ocean roar

And prais­es sound from shore to shore;

Let floods and hills with glad ac­cord

Show forth their joy be­fore the Lord.

For

lo

He comes; at His com­mand

All na­tions shall in judg­ment stand;

In jus­tice robed

and throned in light

The Lord shall judge

dis­pens­ing right.
