*Opening Hymn: #7 “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 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!"
