Author: Michael Perry, b. 1942 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #541 (1986) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 First Line: O God beyond all praising, We worship you today Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising, We worship you today
And sing the love amazing That songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder At ev'ry gift you send,
At blessings without number And mercies without end;
We lift our hearts before you And wait upon your word,
We honor and adore you, Our great and mighty Lord.
2 Then hear, O gracious Savior, Accept the love we bring,
That we who know your favor May serve you as our King;
And whether our tomorrows Be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows And rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty And glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty Our sacrifice of praise. Topics: Lent 5, Year B; Pastoral Care of the Sick; Beauty; Cross; Discipleship; God the Father (Creator); Healing; Jesus Christ; Joy; Love of God for Us; Praise; Song; Suffering; Trust; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED
