Hymn 428 RAISE THE PSALM: Lyrics

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 evening
In your unexhausted song;
Tell that God forever 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 joy illumine,
Gladness sine over the earth and sea,
Yea , the far -resounding ocean
Shall its thousand voices raise ,
All its waces in glad commotion
Chant the fullness of His praise

4. And earth’s field,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.
