When Saints Unite to Sing God's Praise (Perry)
Submitted Hymn Texts, Submitted Music (1998-2006)
When saints unite to sing God’s praise
His spirit will abound.
As with one blended voice we raise
An anthem heaven-bound.
When in our worship we combine
To sing with one accord,
In one grand chorus we define
Our rev’rence for the Lord
When words alone cannot convey
Vibrations of the heart,
Sweet strains of sacred music may
Our noblest thoughts impart.
The deepest joys of humankind,
The raptures of the soul,
Expand as joyful voices blend
In one harmonic whole.
If in our hearts we consecrate
Our anthems to the Lord,
The love of God shall resonate
In each resounding chord.
When through our music we declare
Devotion to His word,
Our song, ascending like a prayer,
Shall reach the throne of God.
