A Hymn of God's Music

The soul cries out to God, whose music sings –
as daily round and chore are given wings –
for sound and matter join in praise that rings:
Alleluya!

Time’s pulse brings song to life for human kind –
as Spirit touches soul and ear and mind
in meaning’s depth through which the Lord we find:
Alleluya!

The part and whole are blest and wed in one
by God whose tune through every age has run
in Christ whose victory over death is won:
Alleluya!

For some the music’s all that they can hear:
the life of God in creed is far from clear;
yet Love incarnate touches every fear:
Alleluya!

Let all that breathe sing praise to God this day
and harmonise our lives as one we pray
through Jesus Christ – our music and the Way:
Alleluya!
