How shall we sing salvation's song

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 How shall we sing salvation's song when justice stands denied, when greed and tyranny and wrong prevail on every side? Shall silent fall our voice of praise, as on the willows hung the harps that told of happier days when songs of home were sung? 2 Yet still we sing as Moses sang beside the parted wave, when Canaan's skies in triumph rang to God the strong to save. We too in psalms like David sing, as David's faith we claim, who sang as shepherd-boy and king of God's eternal name. 3 And we have blessings more than they in Christ our risen Lord, himself our Life and Truth and Way, his Spirit on us poured. For ours the cross where Jesus died, the love that bore our sins; to him, enthroned and glorified, salvation's song begins.
