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.
