Author: Michael Perry (1942-96)
Bring to the Lord a glad new song,
children of grace, extol your king;
your love and praise to God belong —
to instruments of music, sing!
Let those be warned who spurn God’s name;
let rulers all obey God’s word;
for justice shall bring tyrants shame:
let every creature praise the Lord!
2. Sing praise within these hallowed walls,
worship beneath the dome of heaven;
by cymbals’ sounds and trumpets’ calls
let praises fit for God be given:
with strings and brass and wind rejoice —
then, join our song in full accord;
all living things with breath and voice,
let every creature praise the Lord!
