We Lift Up Our Voices

Words: Gary Hicks

Tune: “Ash Grove”, traditional Welsh melody 

                 (“Let All Things Now Living”)

We lift up our voices,

All nature rejoices,

Proclaiming together the goodness of the Lord.

With glad hearts we bless Him,

Our glad tongues confess Him,

Who ever is faithful, fulfilling His word.

And Jesus our glory,

His life our sweet story:

God’s mercy come down and made flesh as a man,

He suffered disgrace,

He died in our place,

Then rose up victorious, God’s eternal plan.

And on this new morning,

God’s grace is adorning

The pathway before us, for He is our light.

No matter what sorrow,

We long for tomorrow,

When, free from our shackles, the faith becomes sight.

Then each tribe and nation,
With all of creation,
Will praise our great Saviour with uplifted hands.

As glad voices thunder,

What glory! What wonder!

We’ll break out in singing and join in the dance.
