When in our music God is glorified
And adoration leaves no room for pride
It is as though the whole creation cried
Alleluia.
How often making music we have found
A new dimension in a world of sound
As worship moves us to a more profound
Alleluia.
So has the Church in liturgy and song
In faith and love, through centuries of wrong
Born witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue
Alleluia.
And did not Jesus sing, a psalm that night
When utmost evil strove against the Light?
So let us sing for Him who won the fight.
Alleluia.
Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise
And may God give us faith to sing always
Alleluia.
