God the Lord, the king almighty
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise Lyrics: 1 God the Lord, the King almighty,
calls the earth from east to west:
shining out from Zion's splendour,
city loveliest and best,
comes our God! He breaks the silence,
robed in burning majesty:
'Gather all my covenant people,
bound by sacrifice to me.
2 'Hear me testify against you:
listen, Israel, as I speak.
I do not require your offerings,
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 hearts' thanksgiving-
God most high will hear your vows.
Trust him in the day of trouble,
call to him who will redeem;
God will be your strong deliverer,
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. Topics: Christian Year Advent; Creation; Salvation and Redemption; Word of God Scripture: Psalm 50 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Person Name: Unknown Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Composer of "ST. HILARY" in Christian Worship In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
