Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Worship in Song #237 (1996) 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, 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 have we both in worship and in song,
In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in every 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 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, Alleluia, Alleluia! Topics: Adoration; Angels; Faith; God's glory; Joy; Light; Music; Praise; Singing (or Song); Truth Tune Title: DOWNING
