Sing unto the Lord a new song—
Chant ye His praises sweet,
Let earth the joyful strain prolong,
With harmony replete.
Again attune the heartfelt song,
And bless His holy name.
Salvation doth to Him belong,
Let ev'ry voice proclaim.

Let the starry heavens rejoice;
Let earth her tribute bring;
The sea shall lift its mighty voice,
And all the isles shall sing.
Green fields in gladness shall abound,
And yield a rich increase,
While forests shall with joy resound—
The anthems of sweet peace.
