Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #402 (1990) Meter: 10.10.10 with refrain Topics: Dedications of Musical Instruments/Hymnals 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 often, 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 has the Church, in liturgy and 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! Scripture: Psalm 98:4-6 Languages: English Tune Title: CELEBRATION '85
When in Our Music God Is Glorified
