Music: .


Crystal songs, pure and bright,
Sparkling with a radiant light,
Light of love, Jesus’ love,
Brightly beaming from above.

Refrain

Heart and voice, join our song,
Let the chorus flow along,
Heart and voice, join our song,
Let the chorus flow along,
While we sing, gladly sing,
While we sing, gladly sing,
Praises to the Lord, our King.

Crystal songs, jewels rare,
Songs of faith and hope and prayer,
Songs of rest, songs of peace,
Songs of triumph, songs of grace.

Refrain

Crystal songs, glad and free,
Songs of sweetest melody;
Come and sing, gladly sing,
Hallelujahs to our King.
