Psalm 57:9-ll
'I will praise you, O Lord among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.'
Psalm 98: 1-2
'Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things... The Lord has made his salvation known, and revealed his righteousness to the nations.'
Song of all songs the nations sing,
New, and yet echoed through the past.
Song of the anguished offering-
Song of eternal bridal fest.
Song that my soul still strives to learn-
Song of descent, and of return.
Song of my heart, I pray to be
Sung to the earth, a song of Thee!
Song of all songs the nations know,
Song that supplants the dragging night
Soars above worthless gods, also-
Song of the day, and blinding light!
Song that awakens, still, the dead-
Song that is drink, and living bread
Song of my heart, I pray to be
Sung to the earth, a song of Thee!
Song of all Songs, the nations cry-
Sing to them springs that cannot fail!
Sing to them life that will not die!
Teach them the Song that must prevail!
You, who are Word, and Staff, and Vine,
Pour to the peoples, Christ, as wine!
Song of my heart, I long to be
Sung to the earth, a song of Thee!
