*Repeat lines as shown*
I am the LORD, that is my name
A name of endless fame (x2)
My glory will I not give, share
With those who idols fare (x3)
Behold, former things, they are past
They not for ever last (x2)
New things I do declare, the LORD
They spring forth at my word (x3)
Sing you to the LORD a new song
And joyful praise prolong (x2)
Praise Him to ends of earth and seas
With truth His word agrees (x3)
Let the deserts and too cities
Lift up voice, make their pleas (x2)
All world\'s inhabitants where\'er
You be, make praises there (x3)
Let them His name now glorify
He the LORD, He is nigh (x2)
He has His servant sent, His Son
Redeeming work has done (x3)
A bruised reed He shall break never
Shall not snap it ever (x2)
And smoking flax He shall quench not
But shall revive its lot (x3)
He shall bring judgement and justice
Unto truth, sure is this (x2)
He shall not fail, nor shall He be
Discouraged, constant He (x3)
