New Songs of Celebration Render
Words: Erik RoutleyMusic: C. Hubert H. ParryTune: Laudate Dominum10.10.11.11
1Now songs of celebration render
To Him who has great wonders done.
Love sits enthroned in ageless splendor:
Come, and adore the mighty One.
He has made known His great salvation
Which all His friends with joy confess;
He has revealed to every nation
His everlasting righteousness.
2Joyfully, heartily resounding,
Let every instrument and voice
Peal out the praise of grace abounding,
Calling the whole world to rejoice.
Trumpets and organs, set in motion
Such sounds as make the heavens ring;
Righteous, commanding, ever glorious,
Praises be His that never cease.
3Rivers and seas and torrents roaring,
Honor the Lord with wild acclaim;
Mountains and stones look up adoring,
And find a voice to praise His name.
Righteous, commanding, ever glorious,
Just is our God, whose truth victorious,
Establishes the world in peace.
