Blest be the God of Israel

Author: Carl P.

So have the prophets long declared that with a mighty arm God would turn back our enemies and all who wish us harm. 2 With promised mercy will God still the covenant recall, the oath once sworn to Abraham from foes to save us all; that we might worship without fear and offer lives of praise, in holiness and righteousness to serve God all our days. 3 My child, as prophet of the Lord you will prepare the way, to tell God's people they are saved from sin's eternal sway. Then shall God's mercy from on high shine forth and never cease to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace. Topics: Prayer in the Morning Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Song of Zechariah (Blest Be the God of Israel)

Author: Michael A. Perry Hymnal: Voices United #901 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 First Line: Blest be the God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blest be 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 the people peace. 2 Now from the house of David a child of grace is given; a Saviour comes among us to raise us up to heaven. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of Day. 3 On prisoners of darkness 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 Saviour with songs that never cease!
