Blessed Be the God of Israel

Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #135 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Freedom and Liberation Lyrics: 1 Blessed the God of Israel, who comes to set us free, who visits and redeems us and grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release; God shall fulfill the promise to bring our people peace. 2 Now from the house of David a child of grace has come, a Savior who will lead us to our eternal home. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of day. On all by death imprisoned the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner's eyes, to guide the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace; O bless our God and Savior with songs that never cease! Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
Blessed Be the God of Israel
