Lyrics:

1. Praise the God who changes places, leaves the lofty seat, welcomes us with warm embraces, stoops to wash our feet.

Refrain: Stand up friends! Hold your heads up high. Freedom is our song! Alleluia!

2. Priase the Rabbi, speaking, doing, all that God intends, dying, rising, faith renewing, calling us his friends.

3. Praise the Breath of Love, whose freedom spreads our waking wings, lifting every blight and burden till the Spirit sings:

4. Praise, until we join the singing far beyond our sight, with the Ending and Beginning daring in the light.
