if we do not sing well,
if all we know as true
has now no sounding bell?
Let's sing, my friends!
We make the choice
in disarray
or with one voice.
2 Who will there be to know
the Story in the song,
the soul food of our life
that makes the church stand strong?
Sing from our hearts
to tell and teach
by tune and text
where faith may reach!
3 Who will there be to hear
if we do not sing plain
that want of peace and bread
creates the world's deep pain?
Sing justice, friends,
to right the scales
where powers oppress
and greed prevails!
4 Who will there be to speak,
when silence is our song,
to state the Gospel truths,
provoke the powers of wrong?
Sing out, each voice!
One band, one choir,
be instruments
of God's desire! Topics: Music and Singing
