“Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” Psalm 96:1-3

While we often join in the worship and praise of previous generations with time-proven hymns of praise, we are also called upon to praise the Lord with new songs – with songs of praise flowing from hearts which trust in the Lord God and love Him for all His goodness and mercy toward us (cf. John 4:21-24).

We sing to the Lord and bless His name. And we declare His mighty works – especially the salvation He has provided for us in His Son – to all the people around us in this world.

We praise You, O Lord, Maker of heaven and earth; and we give You thanks for Your mercy toward us for the sake of Christ Jesus and His blood, shed upon the cross for the sins of the world. Amen.
