1. With songs of praise and gratitude We worship God above, In words and music give our thanks For his redeeming love.

Then come before God’s presence! With singing worship him! Express the heart too full to speak In one exultant hymn.

2. The Lord has said a heartfelt song By righteous ones is prayer; A hymn unites us and invites The Spirit to be there.

Then come before God’s presence! With singing worship him! Express the heart too full to speak In one exultant hymn.

3. In former days glad hymns were sung By seed of Abraham; The Saints shall sing, when Christ shall come, The new song of the Lamb.

Then come before God’s presence! With singing worship him! Express the heart too full to speak In one exultant hymn.
