Psalm 98 (Tate & Brady)

1 Sing to the Lord a new made song,

who wondrous things has done;

With his right hand and holy arm

the conquest he has won.

2 The Lord has through th' astonish'd world

displayed his saving might,

And made his righteous acts appear

in all the heathen's sight.

3 Of Israel's house his love and truth

have ever mindful been;

Wide earth's remotest parts the pow'r

of Israel's God have seen.

4 Let therefore earth's inhabitants

their cheerful voices raise,

And all with universal joy

resound their Maker's praise.

5 With harp and hymn's soft melody

into the concert bring

6 The trumpet and shrill cornet's sound,

before th' Almighty King.

7 Let the loud ocean roar her joy,

with all that seas contain;

The earth and her inhabitants

join concert with the main.

8 With joy let riv'lets swell to streams,

to spreading torrents they;

And echoing vales from hill to hill

redoubled shouts convey;

9 To welcome down the world's great Judge,

who does with justice come,

And with impartial equity

both to reward and doom.
