We Will Tell Each Generation

Author: Michael Perry; Martin Tel Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #78E (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 We will tell each generation 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.

1942 - 1996 Author of "We Will Tell Each Generation" in Psalms for All Seasons Initially studying mathematics and physics at Dulwich College, Michael A. Perry (b. Beckenham, Kent, England, 1942; d. England, 1996) was headed for a career in the sciences. However, after one year of study in physics at the University of London, he transferred to Oak Hill College to study theology. He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols for Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications. Bert Polman
