Spirit divine, attend our prayers

Blest be the God of Israel

Author: Michael Perry Meter: 13.13.13.13 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Light First Line: Blest be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free, he visits and redeems us, he grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release; God shall fulfill his promise and bring the gift of peace. 2 Now from the house of David a child of grace has come, a Saviour who will lead us to our eternal home. Before him goes his herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the messinger of day. 3 On those who live in darkness the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner's eyes; to guide the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace. Oh bless our God and Saviour with songs that never cease! Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE
