Hymn – EMHB 16 – Raise the Psalm – Tune: Austria
1.
Raise
the psalm : let earth adoring
Through each kindred,
tribe, and tongue,
To her God His praise
restoring,
Raise the new
accordant song,
Bless His name, each
farthest nation;
Sing His praise, His
truth display:
Tell anew His high
salvation
With each new return
of day.
2.
Tell
it out beneath the heaven,
To each kindred,
tribe, and tongue,
Tell it out from morn
till even
In your unexhausted
song:
Tell that God for
ever reigneth,
He, who set the world
so fast,
He, who still its
state sustaineth
Till the day of doom
to last.
3.
Tell
them that the day is coming
When that righteous
doom shall be:
Then shall heaven new
joys illumine,
Gladness shine o’er
earth and sea,
Yea, the
far-resounding ocean
Shall its thousand
voices raise,
All its waves in glad
commotion
Chant the fullness of
His praise.
4.
And
earth’s fields, with herbs and flowers,
Shall put on their
choice array,
And in all their
leafy bowers
Shall the woods keep
holy-day:
When the Judge, to
earth descending,
Righteous judgement
shall ordain,
Fraud and wrong shall
then have ending,
Truth, immortal
truth, shall reign. Amen.
