A reading from Psalm 96.

O sing to the Cosmos a new song;
sing to the Beloved, all the earth!

All: O sing to the Cosmos a new song;
sing to the Beloved, all the earth!

The Creator of the Cosmos reigns!
Yes, the world has been created,
gifts to all generations;
let truth and justice give birth to peace and harmony!

All: O sing to the Cosmos a new song;
sing to the Beloved, all the earth!

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the seas laugh, and all that fills them;
let the fields exult, and everything in them!

All: O sing to the Cosmos a new song;
sing to the Beloved, all the earth!

Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the coming of the Beloved, who reigns in glory!

All: O sing to the Cosmos a new song;
sing to the Beloved, all the earth!
