Let the people of God go singing

Let the people of God go singing.
Let heaven and nature sing.
Sing all ye citizens! Give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Let the people of God go singing,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains.
Repeat the sounding joy
Over the hills and everywhere.

Let the people of God go singing.
Sing we joyous all together.
Raise a song high above the trees,
With a voice as big as the sea.

Let the people of God go singing
Until music floats o’er all the weary world.
What sweeter music can we bring
With the dawn of redeeming grace?
