Chantez à Dieu chanson nouvelle,

Chantez, ô terre universelle,

Chantez, et son Nom bénissez.

Et de jour en jour annoncez

Sa délivrance solennelle.

Sing unto God new songs upraising,

Sing thou, O world, His glory praising,

Sing thou and bless His holy name.

Yea from day to day tell His fame,

Upon His great salvation gazing.
