Song of Ascent

Rise up we’ve heard the call to ascend the holy mountain
To praise the Lord of all to worship at his footstool

We do not come to a place of fear
Of darkness and terror and storm
But to the heavenly Jerusalem
Where saints and angels praise before the throne

Sing a song of ascent as they sang as they went
To the dwelling of God Almighty
Sing to him a new song oh awaken the dawn
To the place where he rests
Sing a song of ascent

Such grace we have been shown
A kingdom opened to us
This world is not our home
This flesh no lasting dwelling

But our praise will rise above these things
And silence the lies of the foe
So with hearts set on pilgrimage
From strength to strength we go

Sing a song of ascent as they sang as they went
To the dwelling of God Almighty
Sing to him a new song oh awaken the dawn
To the place where he rests
Sing a song of ascent

Sing a song of ascent as they sang as they went
To the dwelling of God Almighty
Sing to him a new song oh awaken the dawn
To the place where he rests
Sing a song of ascent
