Psalm 47: Sing Praises to God
“For the Lord Most High is awesome,
Psalm 47:2
the great King over all the earth.”
Sing praises to God, sing praises
Sing praises to our King,
The Lord who reigns over all the earth
Sing praises now to him.
– 1 –
His word in empty darkness
Gives birth to radiant light
Creation’s canvas coloured
As day eclipses night
Though nations rise rebellious
And hostile rulers reign
All will fall on bended knee
When he sends forth his name
– 2 –
The Lord most high is mighty,
His awe beyond compare
His power to subdue nations
His love to others shared
For what in all creation
Can better match the sight
Of evil’s reign surrendered
And sin’s hold put to flight
– 3 –
The earth’s foundations tremble
As nails hold the hands
That carry us to endless peace
Fulfilling loves demands
Lifted up on Calvary
Christ’s majestic grace
Lifted up so death may die
And dying in my place
Sing praises to God, sing praises
Sing praises to our King,
The Lord who reigns over all the earth
Sing praises now to him.
