Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #46 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 We will tell each generation
all that you, our God, have done;
how you called and led our nation,
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 vigour,
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. Topics: Christian Nurture / Teaching; Forgiveness / Pardon; God Power / Might of; Grace; Jesus Christ Unity in; Metrical Psalms Scripture: Psalm 78:4 Languages: English Tune Title: RESTORATION
