God the LORD, the King Almighty
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Christian Worship #50A (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Lyrics: 1 God the Lord, the King Almighty,
calls the earth from east to west:
shining out from Zion's splendor,
city loveliest and best,
comes our God! He breaks the silence,
robed in burning majesty:
"Gather all my cov'nant people,
bound by sacrifice to me."
2 "Hear me testify against you:
listen, Israel, as I speak.
I do not require your off'rings,
sacrifice I do not seek.
Mountain birds and meadow creatures,
cattle on a thousand hills,
all the beasts are my possession,
moving as their maker wills."
3 God who owns the whole creation
needs no gift, no food, no house;
bring to him your heart's thanksgiving,
God Most High will hear your vows.
Trust him in the day of trouble,
call to him who will redeem;
he will be your strong deliv'rer,
his renown your daily theme.
4 Lies increase and evil prospers;
God is silent while men say,
"He has gone, let us forget him,"
thinking he is false as they.
But his word will judge or save us:
let us come before his throne,
giving thanks, receiving mercy,
God's salvation now made known.
