Analysis of Earthly King
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
Sing to the Lord throughout the earth;
Sing to the Lord and voice so strong,
Bless His name showing priceless worth.
Tell all about His salvation,
Declare His glory to heathens;
The wonders of His creation,
Reach out to all of the Pagans.
Great is the Lord and greatly praised,
Above all others He is feared;
All the idols need to be razed,
No longer should they be revered.
The Lord made the earth and Heaven,
For the splendor and majesty;
The strength and beauty given,
All made with humbled modesty.
Ascribe to the Lord you people,
Ascribe in glory and in strength;
Proclaim it within the temple,
Proclaim it with all your strength.
The glory is due to His name,
Bring offering and come to His court;
Worship the Lord and light His flame,
Show everyone how you support.
Worship the Lord for His beauty,
Showing fear for His holiness;
Revering Him is your duty,
Because of humbled lowliness
