[Intro] [Bagpipes playing a traditional Scottish air, open drone] [Verse 1] Out upon the misty hills Where the cold wind softly blows There is a call that fills the valley Higher than the heather grows We leave behind the broken paths The shadows that we used to trace To walk within the morning light And rest inside His steady grace [Chorus] All are welcome, come and see God’s great love has set us free Turn away from the life we live To chase the life He freely gives Praise Him, praise Him, high and clear Soprano, alto, tenor, bass All are welcome in this place [Verse 2] The stone is strong, the foundation sound Every weary soul brought home No one a stranger in His house No one left to walk alone From every glade and distant shore A single song begins to rise A joyful noise that shakes the sky Underneath the Northern skies [Chorus] All are welcome, come and see God’s great love has set us free Turn away from the life we live To chase the life He freely gives Praise Him, praise Him, high and clear Soprano, alto, tenor, bass All are welcome in this place [Bridge] [Soprano, alto, tenor, bass four-part harmony build, bagpipes joining] Praise Him with the pipe and drum Praise Him till the kingdom come From the valley to the crest In His shadow we are blessed [Outro] Turn away, turn away To the life He gives today All are welcome, all are welcome [Bagpipes fade over soaring SATB choir sustained chord]
