Put on the garments of praise
For the spirit of heaviness
Let the oil of gladness flow down
From Your throne
Put on the garments of praise
For the spirit of heaviness
Your joy is my strength alone
My strength alone
Make these broken weary bones
Rise to dance again
Wet this dry and thirsty land
With a river
Lord our eyes are fixed on You
And we are waiting
For Your garland of grace
As we praise Your name
Hallelujah sing hallelujah
We give all honour and praise
To Your name
Hallelujah sing hallelujah
We trade our sorrows
For garments of praise
