Raise the Song

Raise the song

raise the song

Sound it far and near

Let the notes of rap­ture swell

With the joy­ful words they tell;

Raise the song

raise the song

Happy an­thems bring

Telling all who hear the call

The Lord is king.

Bring

mer­ri­ly bring

Voices and hearts to join the song

Sing

mer­ri­ly sing

Raising a chor­us full and strong;

Ring

mer­ri­ly ring

Echoing bells from Heav­en ring!

Joy we raise in a song

Of praise to Christ our king.

Raise the song

raise the song

Over land and sea

So our mu­sic may im­part

Joy re­newed in ev­ery heart;

Raise the song

raise the song

Set the ech­oes free

Words of praise

thro’ all our days

Our song shall be.

Raise the song

raise the song

See the ban­ners sway!

May they ev­er bright­ly shine

Glowing with a light di­vine;

Raise the song

raise the song

Joyful an­thems bring

Music sweet must ev­er greet

The Lord

our king.
