Raise High the Notes of Exultation

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.

Eternal Lord of Heav­en above

Look down and bless their plight­ed love;

Look down and bless their plight­ed love.

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.

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.

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.
