Hallowed be His name beneath, As in heav'n on earth adored; Praise the Lord in every breath, Let all things praise the Lord. Amen.

God Is Our Song

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Arts and Music First Line: God is our song, and every singer blest Lyrics: 1 God is our song, and every singer blest who, giving praise, finds energy and rest. All who praise God with unaffected joy give back to us the blessing we destroy. 2 God is our song, for Jesus comes to save; while praising him, we offer all we have. New songs we sing, in ventures new unite, when Jesus leads us upward into light. 3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns; who praises God all human wrath disowns. Love knows what rich complexities of sound God builds upon a simple, common ground. 4 God is our silence when no songs are sung, when ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue. Glorious the faith which silently obeys until we find again the voice of praise. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Used With Tune: FARLEY CASTLE
