A New Song (rhymed version)

The day the saved of God
Traversed the deep dryshod,
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Lo, sunken in deceit
The Egyptian daughter's feet,
The while, the Shulamite
Went shod in fair delight.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
All that on Jeshurun gaze
Shall see him shrined in praise,
For Jeshurun’s God arose
Acclaimed by his foes.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Thy banners Thou wilt set
O'er those remaining yet,
And gather those forlorn
As gathering ears of corn.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
These that have come to Thee
Under Thy seal to be,
They from the birth are Thine,
Bound by a holy sign.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Their token show to all
Whose eyes upon them fall:
Lo, on their garment’s hem
The fringe ordained for them!
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
For whom then are they sealed?
Let truth now be revealed:
Whose is the seal, and who
Shall claim the thread of blue?
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Ah, take her as of yore,
And cast her forth no more;
Let sunlight crown her day
And shadows flee away.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
For Thy beloved throng
Still come to Thee with song,
Singing with one accord:
Now who is like Thee 'mid the gods, O Lord.
Still Thy redeemed throng
Sing a new song.
