In praise of God meet duty and delight

Author: Erik Reginald Routley, 1917-82 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Festal Joy Lyrics: 1 In praise of God meet duty and delight, creatures of earth and heavenly spirits blest: in praise is earth transfigured by the sound and sight of Heaven's everlasting feast. 2 In praise meet those with skill in art and crafts, inspired, obedient, patient, practical; in praise join instrument and voice and mind to make one music for the Lord of all. 3 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. 4 No skill of ours, no music made on earth, no mortal song could scale the height of heaven; yet stands the cross, through grace ineffable an 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.
