Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:O God of blessings, all praise to you! Your love surrounds us ...
Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for prophets, through grace inspired to preach and witness ...
Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for music, deep gift profound, through hands and voices ....
Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for Jesus, best gift divine through word and witness, in bread and wine ...
Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
A billion voices in one great song, now soft and gentle, now deep and strong,
Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
