Our Song of Praise

1Far away the noise of strife upon my ear is falling, Then I know the sin and sorrow of the sons of men; But when I catch the music of the triumphal calling, Then I know the soul of the people shall win.

2For too long, and too long, And too long, I have waited, But thy hope shall not deceive me; For the hoped-for day at last, And the ransomed of the Lord to their home have come.

3From the earth the risen and the freed ones sing rejoicing, Of the Lamb's great love that brought us from our sins; And our hearts as true respond; For with us he is dwelling, Lord of all to those who trust; Song of gratefulness and praise.
