Another Metres as Mr. Sandys's 13th.

[verse 1] O Sing to God, the Lord: His wond'rous Works record! Sing, sing an Anthem new. Return his Praises due, Whose Hand, whose holy Arm Dissolv'd Hell's fatal Charm: Whom we triumphant see, And crown'd with Victorie! [verse 2] The Lord's Salvation Is now more clearly known: His Truth and Justice He Makes all the Nations see. [verse 3] But with his Israel His Mercies ever dwell: And though a while a Cloud His Truth and Mercy shroud From their expecting Eyes, Off soon the Shadow flies, And both, with Beams Divine More bright and strongly shine. So all the Nations round Have our Salvation found; How God about us waits, And all our Health creates. [verse 4] Let all the Nations round Their Maker's Praises sound: O let the Earth rejoice, And raise its chearful Voice; And all the World combine In Thanks, and Songs Divine. [verse 5] Sing to the Lord! ô sing To our Eternal King! To well-tun'd Harps ô raise Your Notes of Heav'nly Praise!

[verse 6] O let the Trumpets found, Let Cornets Notes rebound, And with them loudly sing To our Eternal King! [verse 7] Let the loud Ocean roar Its Joys from Shoar to Shoar: Let Angels, bless'd on high, With Earth in Praises vye! [verse 8] O let the Waters sound, The ecchoing Hills rebound; And with a chearful Noise, Express their boundless Joys! [verse 9] Let All their Joy fulness Before the Lord express! For, loe! He comes with Haste, And Awful Glories grac'd: His dreadful Summons all To his Tribunal call: His Judgment then shall bless The World with Righteousness: Truth from his Lips shall flow; And all the World shall know Their glorious Judge, and see His Love and Equity.
