1O sing un - to the Lord a new song;
Da Lord hath made sal - va - tion known;
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth, make a loud noise and rejoice, and sing praise.
With harps and the voice of a psalm, with trumpets and the sound of cornet make a joy - ful noise.

2Sing un - to the Lord, and bless his name;
A - ll shall praised him all the re - all the earth;
Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell there - in.

3Sing un - to the Lord, and bless his name;
Let the floods clap their hands;
Let the hills be joy - ful to - geth - er;
Be - fore the Lord; for he com - eth to judge the earth.
