Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast

Author: David G. Preston Hymnal: Christian Worship #52A (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Why, mighty hero, must you boast Lyrics: 1 Why, mighty hero, must you boast of cruelty and of crime, yet disregard God's steadfast love which lasts throughout all time? How razor-sharp your deadly tongue, what treach'ry you devise! You cling to evil, hate the good, and love pernicious lies. 2 But God will tear you clean away from all the wealth you own, from home and fam'ly, life itself, to reap what you have sown. The righteous will look on in awe, and with relief will say: "We knew his trust was not in God; in wealth and greed it lay." 3 But I am like an olive tree that thrives in God's domain, dependent on his steadfast love whose pow'r can never wane. I will forever give you praise for what your hand has done, hope in your name, and with your saints make all your goodness known.
