@3Sing to the Lord a new song!@1
Because the Spring comes newly,
And every slender sapling
Has budded green and red.
@3Sing to the Lord a new song!@1
The skylark sings it truly,
Since all in dewy April
His love and he are wed.

@3Sing to the Lord a new song!@1
For every bird's a lover,
And o'er the purple furrows
The green spears nod and wave.
@3Sing to the Lord a new song!@1
Since Lenten fasts are over,
And Easter's come in glory,
And Christ has left the grave.

@3Sing to the Lord a new song!@1
A song of love and wedding,
For every bird is building
His nest in bower and tree.
@3Sing to the Lord a new song!@1
The tufts of soft wool spreading
Where a brown wife and babies
This Easter-tide shall be.
