Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #535 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Communion of Saints First Line: 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 6:3 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
