Sing to the Lord a new song

I posted in my other blog today about one of my favorite hymns. It is in The Episcopal Church's hymnal, The Hymnal 1982, hymn #412.

Earth and all stars, loud rushing planets sing to the Lord a new song! O victory, loud shouting army sing to the Lord a new song! He has done marvelous things. I, too, will praise him with a new song!

Hail, wind, and rain, loud blowing snowstorms, sing to the Lord a new song! Flowers and trees, loud rustling dry leaves, sing to the Lord a new song!
Trumpet and pipes, loud clashing cymbals, sing to the Lord a new song! Harp, lute, and lyre, loud humming cellos, sing to the Lord a new song!
Engines and steel, loud pounding hammers, sing to the Lord a new song! Limestone and beams, loud building workers, sing to the Lord a new song!
Classrooms and labs loud boiling test tubes sing to the Lord a new song! Athlete and band, loud cheering people, sing to the Lord a new song!
Knowledge and truth, loud sounding wisdom, sing to the Lord a new song! Daughter and son, loud praying members, sing to the Lord a new song!
He has done marvelous things. I, too, will praise him with a new song!
