Psalm 98 (sort of)


Sing to our Lord a glad new song
            for great things he has done;
      when He stretched out his arms so strong
            his victory was won.

The Lord has proved his victory
            to all mankind who stray;
      with mercy in His memory
            for those who walk his way.

Then SHOUT WITH JOY to God, you lands
            of Earth, lift up your voice
      with organ pipes and big brass bands
            and jubilation noise.

Rejoice with horns and saxophones,
            and bang a happy drum
      to praise our utter King who owns
            us now and when He comes.

Rejoice you oceans and you whales,
            you rivers clap your hands;
      Rejoice you hills, rejoice you vales,
            for Him who made all lands.

He comes, he comes to judge the Earth
            with truth, our God who's true;
      O hasten to your second birth
            to be, with all things, new.
