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
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.
