GOD OF LOVE AND GOD OF POWER
"I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy." Psalms
59:16
Words: Gerald H. Kennedy, circa 1939.
Music: "Unser Herrscher," Joachim Neander, 1680.
God of love and God of power,
Grant us in this burning hour
Grace to ask these gifts of Thee,
Daring hearts and spirits free.
Refrain
God of love and God of power,
Thou hast called us for this hour.
We are not the first to be
Banished by our fears from Thee;
Give us courage, let us hear
Heaven's trumpets ringing clear.
Refrain
All our lives belong to Thee,
Thou our final loyalty;
Slaves are we whene'er we share
That devotion anywhere.
Refrain
God of love and God of power,
Make us worthy of this hour,
Offering lives if it's Thy will,
Keeping free our spirits still.
