Canticle of the Free Songtext
von Janet Sullivan Whitaker

I sing to God, triumphant is He
To god be praise and glory
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea
To God be praise and glory
My strength and courage come from the Lord
To God be praise and glory
All clothed in glory forever be adored
To God be praise and glory

I am free!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!


Oh pharaoh your army they sink like a stone
To god be praise and glory
My God plunged you into the Red Sea all alone
To God be praise and glory
We come to this land, the mountain of the free
To God be praise and glory
The people give thanks in your sanctuary
To God be praise and glory

I am free!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!

By water and Spirit we′re blessed with new birth
To God be praise and glory
We work to renew the face of the earth
To God be praise and glory
As Jesus was raised now all death must die
To God be praise and glory
Come lift up your voice in one and joyful cry
To God be praise and glory

I am free!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!


In saving waters we sink like a stone
To God be praise and glory
From death into living we each must go alone
To God be praise and glory
And stand in the light of this great family
To God be praise and glory
God's love will unite us and set us all free
To God be praise and glory

I am free!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!
I will sing to the Lord, triumphant is He!
The horse and chariot He cast into the sea!
