Come, Let Us Praise What God Has Done

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Faith, Trust, Love; Faithfulness of God; Love Of God; God Works in human history; Holy Spirit Breath/wind of God; Power of Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Praise Lyrics: 1 Come, let us praise what God has done, And all that God will do, Whose love is older than the sun, And yet forever new. 2 When slaves in Egypt, long ago, Were pleading to be free, God said, through Moses, "Let them go!" And led them through the sea. 3 Remembering that old surprise, In exile and despair, The prophets cried, "Awake! Arise! The way of God prepare!" 4 God's freeing love again was shown: By pagan king's decree The people came rejoicing home, For all the world to see. 5 And what of Christ, who rose from death When life and hope were lost, And gave us, by the Spirit's breath, The pow'r of Pentecost? 6 Through many years, and still today, Christ, endlessly alive, Has traveled with us on our way, And waits where we arrive. 7 Let ev'rything that God has done Our faith and hope renew To love and honor ev'ryone And show what God can do.

O God, Whom I Delight to Praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Betrayal of Christ; Evil Character; Falsehood; Friendship of God or Christ; Imprecatory Psalms; Love for Men; Praise in Worship; Punishment Of The Wicked; Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 O God, whom I delight to praise, To Thee my cry for help I raise; Be Thou my Friend and Advocate When foes assail with bitter hate. 2 Against me slanderous words are flung From many a false and lying tongue; Without a cause men hurl at me The shafts of deadly enmity. 3 My good with evil they repay, My love turns not their hate away; The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine, To pray, and only pray, is mine. 4 Since love appeals to him in vain, The slave of sin let him remain; Against him let his foe be turned, His sin be judge, his prayer be spurned. 5 Let sudden death upon him break, His office let another take, His children and his widowed wife Pursue the homeless beggar's life. 6 Let creditors consume his toil And strangers make his wealth their spoil; Let none in pity heed his claim, Cut off his race, blot out his name. 7 His parents' sins be not forgot Till Thou from earth his memory blot, Since he remembered not to show Compassion to the sons of woe. 8 He cursing loved and blessing loathed; Unblest, with cursing he is clothed; For thus the justice of the Lord My adversaries will reward. 9 O God, the Lord, for Thy Name's sake Let me of Thy good grace partake; My need is great, and great Thou art To heal my wounded, stricken heart. 10 With failing strength I fast and pine, Like shadows swift my days decline, And when my foes my weakness see They shake the head in scorn at me. 11 O Lord my God, Thy help I crave, In Thy great lovingkindness save; Before my foes Thy mercy show; That Thou dost help me make them know. 12 What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless? Then joy shall banish my distress, And shame shall overwhelm the foes Who would Thy servant's way oppose. 13 Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise, The multitude shall hear my praise, For by the needy God will stand To save them from oppression's hand. Scripture: Psalm 109 Used With Tune: PENTECOST
