Now Let Us All, in Hymns of Praise

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #529 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Now let us all, in hymns of praise, bear witness with one voice To God’s redeeming work in Christ, and bid the world rejoice. Today we call to mind the things that time cannot erode: what God, Creator of the world, is doing for our good. 2 What changes, challenges, and tests the church of Christ survives! How rich the records left to us of dedicated lives! Still must the church proclaim to all, that now, and evermore, the house of God is open house, and Christ the Open Door. 3 Of all our labors who can say what harvest there shall be, when time, that limits and distorts, becomes eternity? Then shall our hymns, rehearsed below, be perfect praise above, as, face to face, we fully know what this means: God is love!

Fred Pratt Green

1903 - 2000 Author of "Now Let Us All, in Hymns of Praise" in The New Century Hymnal The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies. Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more." --Seven New Hymns of Hope , 1971.
