Praise to God for the return of Peace

Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Governance from God; Governance from God First Line: To thee, most high and holy God Lyrics: 1 To thee, most high and holy God, To thee our thankful hearts we raise; Thy works declare thy name abroad, Thy wondrous works demand our praise. 2 To slavery doom'd, thy chosen sons Behold their foes triumphant rise: And sore opprest by earthly thrones, They sought the sovereign of the skies. 3 'Twas then, great God, with equal power, Arose thy vengeance and thy grace, To scourge their legions from the shore, And save the remnant of thy race. 4 Thy hand that form'd the restless main, And rear'd the mountain's awful head, Bade raging seas their course restrain, And desert wilds receive their dead. 5 Such wonders never come by chance, Nor van the winds such blessings blow; 'Tis God the Judge doth one advance, 'Tis God that lays another low. 6 Let haughty tyrants sink their pride, Nor lift so high their scornful head; But lay their impious thoughts aside, And own the empire God hath made. Scripture: Psalm 75
