HYMN 466. (Psal. 96.)

Argument.
The Psalmist celebrates sweet Gospel-Days, Idols are slighted: God claims all the praise.
All People, &c.
NOW sing a new Song to the Lord O all ye people of the Earth: Bless ye the Lord, his Name record in cheerfull Songs of joy and mirth.

Page 534

From age to age, O do not spare his sweet and saving health to show: His wonders rare and fame declare, that Nations all on Earth may know. For he excels in Soveraignty, and infinitely hath the odds; And much must he exalted be, and greatly fear'd above all Gods.
For Heathen Gods are vanity, meer Idols are they every one: But verily the Lord most high created the Celestial Throne. Before him honour stands in sight, with Majesty that is Divine: Adored might and beauty bright do in his Sanctuary shine.
O give unto the Lord's great Name, ye numerous Kindreds of man-kind, Both strength and fame to him proclaim, for both in one must be conjoyn'd.
