Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #533 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10 with refrain 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!
