Description
Instrumental version of the anthem based on Psalm 96 by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck
I have added various dynamics, phrasing and tempo changes to give a feeling closer to the
choral original than a straight transcription might have.

lyrics
Chantez à Dieu chanson nouvelle,
Chantez, ô terre universelle,
Chantez, et son Nom bénissez.
[Sing a new song to God
Sing, oh all the earth,
Sing and bless his name]
Et de jour en jour annoncez
Sa délivrance solennelle.
[and from day to day tell of
his great salvation]
