Author: David Mowbray, b. 1938 Hymnal: SNC #60 (2002) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Let God, who called the worlds to be Lyrics: 1
Let God, who called the worlds to be,
arise in all-consuming fire
to judge the people righteously,
and faithless ones with awe inspire.
2
This God is ours, and yet we break
the covenant made long ago.
God’s words we foolishly forsake;
God’s ways we have refused to know.
3
For though our lips have preached God’s law,
our erring hearts have scorned the name.
We choose the thief and slanderer as friends,
and so increase our shame.
4
What then shall God the Lord demand?
Not gifts or lavish offering,
but vows and promises performed,
and lives from which true praises spring!
