Raise the Psalm: Let Earth Adoring

lyricist: Edward Churton, 1854
Composer: Croatian melody

Raise the psalm: let earth ad­or­ing

Through each kin­dred

tribe

and tongue

To her God His praise re­stor­ing

Raise the new ac­cord­ant song.

Bless His name

each far­thest na­tion;

Sing His praise

His truth dis­play:

Tell anew His high sal­va­tion

With each new re­turn of day.

Tell it out be­neath the heav­en

To each kin­dred

tribe and tongue

Tell it out from morn till ev­en

In your un­ex­haust­ed song:

Tell that God for­ev­er reign­eth

He

who set the world so fast

He

who still its state sus­tain­eth

Till the day of doom to last.

Tell them that the day is com­ing

When that right­eous doom shall be:

Then shall Heav’n new joys il­lu­mine

Gladness shine o’er earth and sea.

Yea

the far re­sound­ing ocean

Shall its thou­sand voic­es raise

All its waves in glad com­mo­tion

Chant the full­ness of His praise.

And earth’s fields

with herbs and flow­ers

Shall put on their choice ar­ray

And in all their leafy bow­ers

Shall the woods keep ho­ly day:

When the Judge

to earth des­cend­ing

Righteous judg­ment shall or­dain

Fraud and wrong shall then have end­ing

Truth

im­mor­tal truth

shall reign.
