(Cantate Domino) (Ps. 149 & 150)
words: Gary
music: I SING THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF GOD
(traditional English folk melody FOREST GREEN) (8.6.8.6.D) (C.M.D.)
or O SING A SONG OF BETHLEHEM
A brand new song of praise
Come all you faithful, lend your voice
And alleluias raise
O celebrate our Maker’s Name
Be joyful in our King
Exult before Him in the dance
And strike your tambourine!
2. For God delights in us, in us,
Reflect and stand amazed
He may rejoice in other things
Yet we command His gaze
How bless’d to be His heart’s desire,
The focus His love
O shout, O shout your heartfelt praise
His sweet affections prove.
3. Praise God within His holy house
And under open sky
Employ your music and your art
To lift His glory high
The trumpet and the violin
Sweet flute and strong guitar
Loud cymbals and the thundering drum
To spread His praise afar!
4. Let ev’ry living, singing tongue
Declare the Maker’s praise
We have no other name to bless
Who loves us all our days.
He triumphs over ev’ry foe
And helps us do the same
O sing, O sing before the LORD
And magnify His name!
