In praise of God meet duty and delight

Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1-3 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.

Christopher M. Idle

b. 1938 Scripture: Psalm 81 Author of "To God Our Strength Come, Sing Aloud" in Scripture Song Database Christopher Martin Idle (b. Bromley, Kent, England, 1938) was educated at Elthan College, St. Peter's College, Oxford, and Clifton Theological College in Bristol, and was ordained in the Church of England. He served churches in Barrow-in-­Furness, Cumbria; London; and Oakley, Suffolk; and recently returned to London, where he is involved in various hymnal projects. A prolific author of articles on the Christian's public responsibilities, Idle has also published The Lion Book of Favorite Hymns (1980) and at least one hundred of his own hymns and biblical paraphrases. Some of his texts first appeared in hymnals published by the Jubilate Group, with which he is associated. He was also editor of Anglican Praise (1987). In 1998 Hope Publishing released Light Upon the River, a collection of 279 of his psalm and hymn texts, along with suggested tunes, scripture references, and commentary. Bert Polman
