1. Sing a new song unto God;
Laud Him ever;
Tell of His great love abroad,
In the Savior!
Hearts renewed, by grace bestowed,
Praise are bringing,
Of the new things singing!
2. God with His deep love and grace
Did endue me,
Cleansed me of my sinfulness,
That did rue me;
God put Jesus in my place,
Death decreeing;
Me from evil freeing!
3. Angels, saints above, on earth, -
We are singing
Of a sinner’s second birth:
God is bringing
Him to heaven’s holy hearth!
We receive him,
And our love we give him.
4. Members of God’s family,
Priesthood royal,
To your soul’s Bridegroom now
By Truly loyal,
For our God is love, and we,
In death’s anguish,
Without love, would languish.
5. O, that faith through love may be
Brightly burning;
As one heart, one soul, may we,
Have this yearning;
That the Spirit’s pow’r so free,
So impelling,
May in us be dwelling!
6. Each must find His life anew
In surrender;
Each devoted heart must due
Service tender;
God gives blessings, rich and true, -
We, receiving,
Praise to Him are giving!
7. Creatures new, Lord, we are Thine,
Thy possession;
That men share Thy life divine,
Was Thy mission:
Who would bow at Babel’s shrine,
Homage giving,
No new life is living.
8. May the world in us perceive
Love’s true fervor,
With which Jesus’ members cleave
To each other;
All the brethren who believe,
Daily striving,
Christlike to be living!
