"Singt dem Herrn ein neues Lied" ("Sing a New Song unto the Lord") is a Christian hymn in German.
Georges Alfred Kempf was born on 10 December 1916 in Val d'Ajo, Département des Vosges, Alsace, the son of farmers in the mountains (Bergbauern).
As a young farmer, he entered the Hermannsburg Mission Seminary in Lower Saxony, and studied Protestant theology further in Erlangen, Tübingen and Strasbourg.
"[4] The beginning of the poem is reminiscent of the call to sing a new song to the Lord as in Psalm 98, and the second line already mentions conflict: "Niemand solls euch wehren" (nobody shall deny it to you).
The fourth stanza concludes on this basis to sing a new songs to him, wherever the sun "looks" (Allsoweit die Sonne sieht), paraphrasing Psalm 113:3, and let it sound brightly ("lasst es hell erklingen").
