I’ve learned to sing a glad new song
Of praise unto our king!
And now with all my ransomed powers
His praises I will sing.
Refrain
His praises will I sing,
He is my Lord and king;
And now with all my ransomed powers
His praises will I sing.
I’ve learned to sing the song of peace,
’Tis sweeter every day,
Since Jesus calmed my troubled soul,
And bore my sins away.
Refrain
I sing the song of perfect love,
It casteth out all fear!
O breadth, O length, O depth, O height!
O love so full of cheer.
Refrain
I’ve learned to sing the song of joy,
My cup is running o’er,
With blessings full of peace and love,
And still there’s more and more.
Refrain
Soon I shall sing the new, new song
Of Moses and the lamb,
With all the sainted hosts above,
Before the great I Am!
