all that you, our God, have done;
how you called and led your people,
chose us out to be your own.
2 Tell the time of our rebelling--
how we wandered from your way,
how your law our love compelling
taught us humbly to obey.
3 Tell how once, when spite and terror
threatened to engulf our land,
you defended us with vigor,
saved us by a mighty hand.
4 Tell the grace that falls from heaven,
angels' food as faith's reward;
tell how sins may be forgiven
through the mercy of the Lord.
5 We will tell each generation
all that you, our God, have done.
As a shepherd you have led us;
by your hand still lead your own. Scripture: Psalm 78 Used With Tune: ARISE (RESTORATION)
