Awesome Alightings

Tune: Regent Square

('Light's abode, celestial Salem')

Psalm 66 v.1-9

*********

Make joyful noise to God, all lands

He does hold all in His hands

Sing forth the honour of His name

Worthy of all endless fame

Make His praise to be heard, glorious

Salvation He brings to us

 

Say to God, how awesome are you

In your works, they good and true

Through the greatness of your power

Enemies submit each hour

Unto you, you great, resplendent

Your Son to us you have sent

 

All the earth shall surely worship

You in all their deeds and lips

Shall sing unto you songs old, new

With your Spirit us endue

Fresh inspirings, activations

Sing His name to all nations

 

Come see the works of God here now

And before His presence bow

He is terrible, He awesome

Towards mankind, to Him come

He did turn the se to dry land

Passed through there all Israel's band

 

He rules by His power for ever

And loses His reign never

His eyes the nations do behold

Knows them all, needs not be told

Of their doings, for he knows all

Let them humbly on Him call

 

O bless our God, all you people

Trusting Him you shall not fall

Make praise joyful, not be silent

He forgives the penitent

Holds our soul in life, allows not

Us to be moved, nor forgot
