¶Lyrics / Text

Sing a song of praising, Mighty deeds proclaim! Sing of love amazing Hearts with grace aflame! Sing with many voicings Drawn to one accord: Jubilant rejoicing In our wond’rous Lord! Bring a skill and passion, Bring a gentle heart, Bring a will to fashion A restoring art. Sift the many stories, Ev’ry voice attend, Gather up the glories, Build a joyful blend. From the best traditions Weave a faithful core; Heed the Spirit’s visions Lifting up the poor; Celebrate the mission, Hope and peace advance, Praising each addition To the ancient dance. Set the world to blazing, Join to swell the throng Gathered for the raising Of the Lord’s new song. Bring your talents all! Craft a fresh and true song Boldly claim your call!
