How good to thank our God and speak our Savior's name, with flute and trumpet, heart and voice, God's wonders to acclaim: Sing praises, sing praises, with psalms and hymns and songs! Yet streams of praise go foul, or run into the sand, if justice cannot run its course and water all the land: Do justice with kindness, and sing our Savior's song! When wealth's uncaring ways our neighbor's hopes destroy, the house of prayer that bears God's name is dead, though filled with joy: Do justice with kindness, and sing our Savior's song! Yet Christ has shown the way of love and praise combined, and treads the path of peace on earth with justice intertwined: Sing praises, sing praises, with psalms and hymns and songs! Our praises cannot wait till word and deed are done. The Spirit fills us through and through with all that God has done: Sing praises, sing praises, with psalms and hymns and songs! Then let us walk in love-- By love our faith is shown. Unloving, we are far from God. In loving, God is known: Through justice, with kindness we'll sing our Savior's song!
