Lyrics

Sing to the LORD a new song For he has done marvellous things

His right hand and his holy arm Have worked salvation for him The LORD has made known his salvation He has openly shown his righteousness In the sight of the nations

He has remembered his loving kindness And his faithfulness towards the house of Israel All the ends of the earth have seen The salvation of our God

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth Burst out and sing for joy Yes, sing praises Sing praises to the LORD with the harp With the harp and the voice of melody

With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn Make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD Let the sea roar with its fullness The world and those who dwell therein Let the rivers clap their hands

Let the mountains sing for joy together Before the LORD, for he comes He comes to judge the earth He will judge the world with righteousness And the peoples with equity

Let creation sing to the LORD Let the heavens declare his glory Let all nations praise his Name A new song for the salvation of our God

Sing to the LORD a new song For he has done marvellous things Forever
