When in Our Music God Is Glorified

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.  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! Amen.
