[Verse 1]
When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!

[Verse 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!

[Verse 3]
So has the Church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue:
Alleluia!  Alleluia!

[Verse 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!

[Verse 5]
Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia!
