O SING A NEW SONG TO THE LORD

How great is the Lord, our God,

sing and bless his name.

Rejoice, all the earth, rejoice,

for the Lord is near.

O sing a new song to the Lord,

O sing to the Lord, all the earth,

O sing to the Lord, bless his name,

Proclaim his help day by day,

Tell among the nations his glory.

And his wonders among all the peoples.

The Lord is great and worthy of praise,

To be feared above all gods.

The gods of the heathens are naught.

It was the Lord who made the heavens,

His are majesty and state and power,

And splendour in his holy place.

Bring an offering and enter his courts,

And worship the Lord in his temple.

O earth, tremble before him.

Proclaim to the nations: God is King,

The world he made firm in its place;

He will judge the peoples in fairness.

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad,

Let the sea and all within it thunder praise,

Let the land and all it bears rejoice,

All the trees of the wood shout for joy,

At the presence of the Lord, for he comes,

He comes to rule the earth.

With justice he will rule the world,

He will judge the peoples with his truth.

Give praise to the Father Almighty,

To his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord,

To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,

Both now and for ever. Amen.
