Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #500 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Lyrics: 1 Gladly to God's holy temple
we in faith have found our way,
in our Father's house to worship,
with our friends to sing and pray.
God is good! God is wise!
Comes his word to us today.
2 All along the pilgrims' pathway
mercy's monuments we trace,
love and judgement, joy and trial,
all have spoken of his grace.
God was there! God is here!
God's great deeds all time embrace.
3 As for me and my household
we will love and serve the Lord,
in his covenant delighting
who himself is our reward.
God is love! God is light!
Fainting faith is here restored!
4 "Go, baptize the waiting nations:
in God's name the peoples cheer;
I am with you now and always:
see, I bring my kingdom near!"
Jesus lives! Jesus leads!
Master, speak, your servants hear.
5 Glory to our kind Creator
glory to our living Lord!
Glory to the bounteous Spirit
flooding earth with gifts outpoured.
This is God! God be praised!
In all life be God adored! Topics: Doxologies (Other, last verses of); Jesus Christ Master; Pilgrimage and Conflict Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL
