Sing a new song
for this one life
For this only earth
For this new day
Sing a new song
For an old sun rising anew
For old dreams meeting new plans
For weary souls awakened by new hope calling
Sing for new justice and faithful hearts
Keeping covenant with determined strength
Bang that drum in vigorous tempo
Stroke the harp with delicate abandon
Blow trumpet and horn
Make noise, all people
Harmonize with the breaking waves
The melody of wind
The clap of thunder
The low hum 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
