Not on bells & xylophone: no key keeps every note on that instrument without sharps, flats or bends.
Words (first verse)
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.
