1 Welcome, welcome every guest,
Hallelujah!
Welcome Jesus in our midst,
Hallelujah!
Welcome him who welcomes us
by the mercy of his cross:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
2 Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Hallelujah!
welcome Christ with every chord:
Hallelujah!
all who find this place of prayer,
come to God and find him near:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
3 Let new pipes and notes resound,
Hallelujah!
ancient walls ring out with sound;
Hallelujah!
God be praised in every key,
every note and harmony:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
4 Every member taking part,
Hallelujah!
with the music of our heart;
Hallelujah!
with a psalm and hymn and song
let our praise be loud and long:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
5 Glory be to God on high,
Hallelujah!
glory, all his people cry;
Hallelujah!
Father, Son and Spirit true:
praise to God for ever new!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
