EN 1470 Sing to the Lord, Ye Distant Lands
Ps.96.1
Versi Version 1
1
Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands!
Ye tribes of every tongue!
His new discovered grace demands
A new and nobler song.
2
Say to the nations, “Jesus reigns,
God’s own almighty Son;
His power the sinking world sustains,
And grace surrounds His throne.”
3
Let Heav’n proclaim the joyful day;
Joy through the earth be seen;
Let cities shine in bright array,
And fields in cheerful green.
4
Let an unusual joy surprise
The islands of the sea;
Ye mountains! sink; ye valleys, rise;
Prepare the Lord His way.
5
Behold, He comes—He comes to bless
The nations as their God;
To show the world His righteousness,
And send His truth abroad.
6
But when His voice shall raise the dead,
And bid the world draw near,
How will the guilty nations dread
To see their Judge appear!
