As the psalmist would have it…Sing.
Come now, together,
Let’s sing for the joy of it.
Gather with brothers
And sisters of grace.
Tell of the stories of
Jesus the marvelous
Captain of courage
Who died in our place.
Whate’er the trouble
Preceding the glad refrain
Soon it will vanish
Like mists of the morn.
Saints with new vistas
Of God in the commonplace.
Shaking the tambourine,
Sounding the horn.
