Camelot

To the tune of Camelot from the famous Broadway musical of the same name

New Lyrics Original Lyrics
A-lle-lu-ia!
Our praises fill the air.
Lift up your hands and worship God on high.		 It's true! It's true!
The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.
The Lord is King lift up your voice and praise Him.
All heav'n and earth before Him now rejoice.
Tell all throughout the land about our Saviour
And worship Him!		 A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
Let all the earth declare that God is King now.
And all men kneel before the Lord their God.
Hail Father, Son and Holy Ghost forever.
We praise Your name!		 The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Emmanuel! God with us!
We worship You on High!
Our Deliverer, Almighty God.
Our praises fill the sky.		 Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
We magnify Thy name, O God our Father,
Ancient of Days who sits upon the throne.
Because of Your great love
We praise our God above
Yes, we're forgiven, justified because
Of Your Great love!		 The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
El Shaddai! Saviour!
You came here as a babe!
Oh, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
Into the manger laid.		 Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
Redemption's just another word for Your love:
A gift too large for human comprehension.
With voice and angel choir,
Our praise will never tire.
Joy and bliss and worship to the Lord
Emmanuel!		 The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
