Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #1 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10 with 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!
2 How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
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,
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!
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:
Alleluia! Topics: Celebration; Church; Faith; God's Glory, Majesty and Power; Music; Praise; Witness Scripture: Psalm 149:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: ENGELBERG
