WAKE EVERY HEART and every tongue
To sing the new eternal song
And crown Him King of Glory now,
Confess Him Lord of all
You are the highest, You are the greatest
You are the Lord of all
Angels will worship,nations will bow down
To the Lord of all
The day will come when all will sing
And glorify our matchless King
Your name unrivalled stands alone,
You are the lord of all
Let every heart, Let every tongue
Sing of your name, Sing of your name
Let every heart, Let every tongue,
Sing, sing, sing
We’re lifting you higher and higher and higher
Lifting you higher, higher and higher
Lifting you higher, higher and higher O Lord
