Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: CH4 #203a (2005) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluia Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:42 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!
