1 O sing a new song to the Lord:
Sing all the earth to God.
To God sing, bless his Name, show still
His saving health abroad.
2 Great honour is before his face,
And majesty divine;
Strength is within his holy place,
And there doth beauty shine.
3 Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,
Of people every tribe,
Glory do ye unto the Lord,
And mighty power ascribe.
4 Give ye the glory to the Lord
That to his Name is due;
Come ye into his courts, and bring
An offering with you.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, and is,
And shall be evermore.
Amen.
