Song of Truth and Joy

Lord, pitch Your tent in me with joy,
Make me Your dwelling place,
And in Your mission then employ
     Your gifts for all our race.

Come, sing Your song in words from Word
     And use my mind and tongue
That others may Your truth adore
     And hear the song you’ve sung.

For song sung once on Calvary
     Was sung as alpha note
And will omega Your song be:
     Your truth for us You wrote.

In Your song we are swept away
     As earth and heaven joined
And all made new beyond the fray–  
     Recovered that purloined.

Your joy in our redemption’s wrought
     By Son who dwells in us;
He paid the price, and we’ve been bought:
     His life’s song breathed in dust.

Now, once again, Your song is heard
     As men and angels sing
Our minds’ and tongues’ omega Word:
     Praise Christ as Lord and King!
