Lord God, your name we praise

Author: Norma E. Walters Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #734 (2010) Meter: 6.6.8.5 D Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Lord God, your name we praise, our guide, throughout these years; you've led us all from ancient days, you've heard our prayers. Our fathers you inspired to create this grand design, and with enthusiasm fire their hearts and mind. 2 We love your house, O Lord, it stands with strength and power: its walls are bolstered with your truth; its steeples soar: within this temple fair your word has been proclaimed, your people heard them loud and clear and lives were changed. 3 Let bells and organ peal, and loud thanksgiving raise; let priest and people lift their hands in love and praise: let angels join the song of pure and holy joy; let men and children's voices strong, sweet notes employ. 4 Our prayers and anthems rise beyond the roof so tall: let psalms and hymns surround your throne our all in all. O great and mighty Lord who blessed us through the years, accept our thanks, almighty Lord, and joyful tears. 5 To you, Creator God, the one whom we adore, be honour, glory, wisdom, might for evermore. To you, Redeemer Son, we bow on bended knee, with Father and the Spirit one eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
