Sing to God a new song,

for God has done marvelous things!

Break into joyful song!

Sing praises with lyre and melody

and trumpets!

Let the seas roar and the floods clap their hands!

For God is coming to judge the world

with righteousness.

God is coming to judge the world with equity.

Sing to God a new song!

May Christ be the power and wisdom of God to you.

And may the Holy Spirit keep you, thought and word,

in God’s good grace.

We go in peace to love and serve the Lord,
