When in Our Music God Is Glorified

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.10 with refrain Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 When, in our music, God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried Hallelujah! 2 How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Hallelujah! 3 So has the church in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue, Hallelujah! 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: Hallelujah! 5 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 Hallelujah!

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the saints in light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.
