A new 'Hymn for Today' : "Let All the Earth"


Let All the Earth . L.M.
Tune: Melcombe
Let all the earth, in joyful song,
Sing praises to our Lord and King;
Let all the peoples of the world
To Him their gifts and tributes bring.
Sing out with full and joyful heart,
As through His gates you enter in.
Know that our Lord Himself is God,
And praise Him in your thanksgiving.
In gladness, serve Him now with praise,
Sing of His might both near and far;
Fit temples for His holy fire,
For He has made us who we are.
We are His people and His sheep,
According to His holy Word;
So now sing joyfully to Him,
Our Shepherd of the fold, our Lord.
Now we in joyful songs of praise,
With full thanksgiving in our heart,
Will worship Him, the Three-in-One,
And seek the way to play our part.
Let all the earth, in joyous song,
In gladness, serve Him now with praise;
Sing out with full and joyful heart:
And walk for ever in His ways.
