God, whose love is reigning o'er us,
source of all, the ending true;
Hear the universal chorus
raised in joyful praise to you:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
worship ancient, worship new.
Word of God from nature bringing
springtime green and autumn gold;
Mountain streams like children singing,
ocean waves thunder bold:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
as creation's tale is told.
Holy God of ancient glory,
choosing man and woman too;
Abram's faith and Sarah's story
formed a people bound to you.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
to your covenant keep us true.
Covenant, new again in Jesus,
starchild born to set us free;
Sent to heal us, sent to teach us
how love's children we might be.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
risen Christ, our Savior he!
Lift we then our human voices
in the songs that faith would bring;
Live we then in human choices
lives that, like our music sing:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
joined in love our praises ring!
