Lyrics
-
1. With songs of praise and gratitude
We worship God above,
In words and music give our thanks
For his redeeming love.
-
[Chorus]
Then come before God’s presence!
With singing worship him!
Express the heart too full to speak
In one exultant hymn.
-
2. The Lord has said a heartfelt song
By righteous ones is prayer;
A hymn unites us and invites
The Spirit to be there.
-
3. In former days glad hymns were sung
By seed of Abraham;
The Saints shall sing, when Christ shall come,
The new song of the Lamb.
