8858. Raise High The Notes Of Exultation

1 Raise high the notes of exultation
To God’s bright throne with voices clear;
The mighty Lord of all creation
Lends to our songs a father’s ear.

Refrain:
Eternal Lord of Heaven above,
Look down and bless their plighted love;
Look down and bless their plighted love.

2 May peace and love, your lives adorning,
Attend you all your course along;
Your Christian walk, each night and morning,
More steadfast make with prayer and song. [Refrain]

3 By God’s own Word each action measure,
Let Christ your great exemplar be;
Still fix your hearts on heavenly treasure,
We hasten tow’rds eternity. [Refrain]

4 With cheerful faith in God confide ye,
The pilgrim’s staff with courage take;
And, till the silent grave divide ye,
God and each other ne’er forsake. [Refrain]
