Adagio from Sonata I in F Improvisation F. Mendelssohn Psalm 96 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless the name of the LORD; proclaim God s salvation from day to day. Declare God s glory among the nations and God s wonders among all peoples. For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised, more to be feared than all gods. Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before the LORD, all the earth. Tell it out among the nations: The LORD is king! The one who made the world so firm that it cannot be moved will judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; let the field be joyful and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy at your coming, O LORD, for you come to judge the earth. You will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with your truth. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever.
