Monday Meditation: Let All On Earth Their Voices Raise

 

"Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples." 
(Psalm 96:1-3)

Let all on earth their voices raise,

To sing the great Jehovah praise,

And bless His holy name:

His glory let the people know,

His wonders to the nations show,

His saving grace proclaim.

 

He framed the globe; He built the sky;

He made the shining worlds on high,

And reigns in glory there:

His beams are majesty and light;

His beauties, how divinely bright!

His dwelling place, how fair!

 

Come, the great day, the glorious hour,

When earth shall feel His saving power,

All nations fear His name;

Then shall the race of men confess

The beauty of His holiness,

His saving grace proclaim. 

Amen.
