Sing a New Song to the Lord

Sing a New Song to the Lord

Text written by Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926 - )

Hymn tune composed by David G. Wilson (1940 - )

Psalm 98 Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things;

his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.

He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;

make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing,

with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy;

let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

V. 1 Sing a new song to the Lord,

He to whom wonders belong.

Rejoice in His triumph and tell of His power.

O sing a new song to the Lord.

V. 2 Now to the ends of the earth

See His salvation is shown.

And still He remembers His mercy and truth,

Unchanging in love to His own.

V. 3 Sing a new song and rejoice.

Publish His praises abroad.

Let voices in chorus with trumpet and horn,

Resound for the joy of the Lord.

V. 4 Join with the hills and the sea,

Thunders of praise to prolong.

In judgment and justice He comes to the earth.

O sing a new song to the Lord.
