Verse 1

When the morning stars together

Their Creator's glory sang

And the angels host all shouted

Till with joy the heavens rang

Then Your wisdom and Your greatness

Their exultant music told

All the beauty and the spledor

Which Your mighty words unfold

Verse 2

Voice and instrument in union

Through the ages spoke Your praise

Plainsong tuneful hymns and anthems

Told Your faithful gracious ways

Choir and orchestra and organ

Each a sacred offering brought

While inspired by Your own Spirit

Poet and composer wrought

Verse 3

When in synagogue and temple

Voices raised the psalmists' songs

Offering the adoration

Which alone to You belongs

When the singers and the cymbals

With the trumpet made accord

Glory filled the house of worship

And all knew Your presence Lord

Verse 4

Lord we bring our gift of music

Touch our lips and fire our hearts

Teach our minds and train our senses

Fit us for these sacred arts

Then with skill and consecration

We would serve You Lord and give

All our powers to glorify You

And in serving fully live
