Alleluia!
Voices
Raise!
Invocation*
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ
his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin
Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; the third day he
rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe
in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness
of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Alleluia! Voices raise!
Richard Hillert
George Wither
based on Psalms 148, 150
Alleluia! Voices raise! Sounding God Almighty’s praise. Hither bring in one consent
heart, and voice, and instrument. Sound the trumpet, touch the lute, let no tongue
nor string be mute. Nor a voiceless creature found, that hath neither note nor
sound. Come ye all before his face, in this chorus take your place. And amid the
mortal throng, be you masters of the song. Let, in praise of God, the sound run a
never-ending round. That our songs of praise may be everlasting as is he. So this huge
wide orb we see shall one choir, one temple be. Where in such a praiseful tone we
will sing what he hath done. Thus our song shall over-climb all the bounds of space
and time.
