Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #7 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluia Lyrics: 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 the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
"Alleluia!"
So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
"Alleluia!"
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!"
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:
