Come, Let Joyful Songs Arise
Psalm 96

Come let joyful songs arise,
In new exalted strains;
Lift your voices to the skies,
The Lord, Jehovah, reigns.
Sing a new song to the Lord,
And bless His holy name;
His salvation tell abroad,
From day to day proclaim.

Now before the nations sing,
And make His glories known;
To the Lord your praises bring,
For wonders He has shown.
Idol gods of lifeless stone,
Are made by foolish men;
Fear the Lord, and Him alone,
And let your praise ascend.

O give glory to the Lord,
Give glory to His name;
O give glory to the Lord,
His pow'r and strength proclaim.
Bring an off'ring, come bow down,
Into His courts draw near;
Worship at His temple now,
Tremble with godly fear.

Let the heav'ns and earth rejoice,
Let all creation sing;
Let all make a joyful noise,
To God their tribute bring.
For He comes to judge the earth,
A righteous Judge is He;
Of ev'ry heart He shall search,
With truth and equity.
