New creature, Shine as a City on a Hill
New creature, shine as a city on a hill
Giving to Him all glory, honour and praise
Eat His word; make it your home and your fill

Child of God, give Him pleasure all of your days
Christian, train to reign with the Master Saviour
At all times, let your life an anthem raise

Commune with Him who is your Intercessor
Who daily pleads your case with God Almighty;
Who took away your sins and is your doctor

He a good God, God of integrity
Forever the same, abundant in goodness
Beautiful beyond compare, great in mercy

Unceasing to you is His loving kindness
Just keep living for Him as a good witness.
