To God, our strength, sing loud and clear, |
Sing loud to God our King! |
To Jacob’s God, that all may hear, |
Loud acclamations ring! |
Prepare the hymn, prepare the song, |
The timbrel hither bring, |
The cheerful psaltry bring along, |
And harp with pleasant string. |
Chorus |
Prepare the hymn, prepare the song, |
The timbrel hither bring, |
The cheerful psaltry bring along, |
And harp with pleasant string. |

“After the poetry of John Milton and Edmund Spenser.
