Scripture
Colossians 3:16
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 oft, in making music, we have found
A new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
Verse 3
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 4
Let every instrument be used for praise;
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise;
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia!

A contemporary hymn celebrating the role of music in Christian worship and faith.
