To the three first lines of choice tune.

The victorious salvation of Christ, the reve∣lation of his gracious Gospel, to the great joy of all creatures.

UNto the LORD a new song sing, For many a great and wondrous thing, His mighty pow'r to pass doth bring. His holy arm of soveraigntie, And his right hand exalted high, Have gotten him the victory. [verse 2] He hath made known his saving might, And brought his truth to open light: Even in the very heathens sight. [verse 3] He hath remembred in his mind, His perfect truth and mercies kind; As all the house of Israel find. The ends of all the earth abroad Have seen declar'd and plainly show'd The saving health our God bestow'd.

[verse 4] Make to the Lord a joyfull noise, Let all the earth express their joyes, And sing his praise with loudest noise. [verse 5] Sing to the Lord, with harp rejoice, With instruments of musick choice; With harp and psalms melodious voice. [verse 6] With trumpet and with cornet sound Before this Lord and King renown'd; Let sweet and sacred joys abound. [verse 7] Let all the earth and num'rous store, Even all that dwells on seas or shore; The world and all its fulness rore. [verse 8] Let flouds clap hands, and every ford, And let the hills with one accord, Rejoice with joy before the Lord. [verse 9] For lo he comes to judge and try The world and people gen'rally With righteousnesse and equitie.
