The
Music
Songs given to man by
God’s Serafim
His choir of Angels
on high
From before the
beginning
Imprinted on man’s
heart
Their songs of praise
continue
Holy, holy, holy now
they’re singing
Tones and melodies
all given before
For man to open; and
use to adore
Limitless combination
of note and rhyme
Bringing praise and
glory to Him alone
From our voice and
instrument now is raised
Our simple song in earthly
time
Lifting hearts, life sung
in parts
Fitting our earthly
voices’ spaces
Filling us with love,
bringing us close
Blending in the
harmonies of life
Sharing gifts diverse
and fitting
Assembled in words of
poetry and prose
Gift of the angels to
help us raise high
Our voices to heaven
in praise do sing
With timbrel and harp
and beating of drum
With melody and tone
and words of praise
In tune with life we
raise now our prayer
To You
from whom all good things come
In music I sing of Your love and I pray that
On angels wings to You they bring
Your music prayed
through me today
I lift it high, to Your throne above I sing
In voice and drum,
horn and string
In music I’ve found Your love’s true song
As my heartsong it is
written, for You I long
