Sing a new song
for this one life
For this only earth
For this new day
Sing a new song
For an old sun newly rising
For old dreams making new plans
For weary souls awakened by new hope calling

Sing for new justice (at last)
And faithful hearts (love them)
Keeping covenant (at long last)
With determined strength
Bang that drum in vigorous tempo
Stroke the harp with delicate abandon
Blow trumpet and horn furious sound
Make noise, all people of the world!

Harmonize with the breaking waves (hear them!)
The melody of wind (sing it!)
The clap of thunder (wild)
The low tone of mountain
The flute, the cymbal
The laugh, the shout
The beat, the boom
The tune, the time

Let your silent mind sing
Your quiet heart sing
Your strong arm sing
Your clear vision sing
Let your admirable character
Your pure intention
Your sure faith yours
and surging spirit sing, sing, sing
