Lyrics
Amen, amen, amen to the awesome Name,
Amen, amen, amen!
O powerful, awesome magnificent God,
grant redemption to Your people.
God will bless you today,
and let all the people say: Amen.
Then I will sing with a song of praise,
with the conductor's psalm.
Then we shall say, "We must praise"
and let all the people say: Amen.
Praise God's name with dance,
Sing to God with drums and with harps.
Praise God with the blast for the shofar,
Praise God with lyre and harp.
Praise God with drums and with dance!
Praise God with strings and reeds!
Praise God with clashing cymbals!
Praise God with clanging cymbals!
