Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #850 (2006) Meter: 10.10.10 wiht alleluias Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2 How oft, in making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
3 So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
5 Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise;
let all rejoice who have a voice to raise;
and may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Topics: Arts, Science; Praise, Thanksgiving; Arts, Science; Music; Praise, Thanksgiving; Stewardship Languages: English Tune Title: FREDERICKTOWN
