For music that lifts us above the conventions And forms of religion in true celebration, Let us praise the Creator, Let us live in the Spirit: For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! For all our composers, conductors, performers, For all who make music for love of the Gospel, Let us praise the Creator, Let us sing with conviction: For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! Today in our worship, in sound and in silence, In need of forgiveness and firmer commitment, Let us praise the Creator, Let us claim our salvation: For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
