God, We Praise You

God, we bless you! Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you! God, we bless you! God, we name you sov'reign Lord! Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your Church adored: All creation shows your glory, Heav'n and earth draw near your throne, Singing "Holy, holy, holy," Lord of hosts and God alone! 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, Saints who set their world ablaze, Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, Join one growing song of praise, While your Church on earth confesses One majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory, Everlasting Son of God, Humble was your virgin mother, Hard the lonely path you trod: By your cross is sin defeated, Hell confronted face to face, Heaven opened to believers, Sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, You will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants For whose freedom you have paid: Raise us up from dust to glory, Guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, Save your people, God, we pray. Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-3 Used With Tune: NETTLETON
