Lyrics

We the Lord’s people,
Heart and voice uniting.
Praise him who called us
Out of darkness,
Light and truth revealing.
Bring we now before Him
All our gladness and joy.

O God, the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit,
Trinity blessed, heav’nly light,
The source of our salvation.
Shine forth in our living
Now and ever. Amen.
