In praise of God meet duty and delight
Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Hymnal: Common Praise #479 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Common Praise Lyrics: 1 In praise of God meet duty and delight,
angels and creatures, flesh and spirits blest:
in praise is earth transfigured by the sound
and sight of heaven's everlasting feast.
2 The desert is refreshed by songs of praise,
relaxed the frown of pride, the stress of grief;
in praise forgotten all our human spite;
in praise the burdened heart finds sure relief.
3 In praise our art and craft together meet,
inspired, obedient, patient, practical;
in praise join instrument and voice and sound
to make one music for the Lord of all.
4 No skill of ours, no music made on earth,
no mortal song could scale the height of heaven;
yet stands that cross, through grace ineffable
the instrument of praise to sinners given.
5 So, confident and festive, let us sing
of wisdom, power and mercy there made known;
the song of Moses and the Lamb be ours,
through Christ raised up to life in God alone. Scripture: 2 Chronicles 30:21 Languages: English Tune Title: CLIFF TOWN
