Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #508 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us praise what God has done,
And all that God will do,
Whose love is older than the sun,
And yet forever new.
2 When slaves in Egypt, long ago,
Were pleading to be free,
God said, through Moses, "Let them go!"
And led them through the sea.
3 Remembering that old surprise,
In exile and despair,
The prophets cried, "Awake! Arise!
The way of God prepare!"
4 God's freeing love again was shown:
By pagan king's decree
The people came rejoicing home,
For all the world to see.
5 And what of Christ, who rose from death
When life and hope were lost,
And gave us, by the Spirit's breath,
The pow'r of Pentecost?
6 Through many years, and still today,
Christ, endlessly alive,
Has traveled with us on our way,
And waits where we arrive.
7 Let ev'rything that God has done
Our faith and hope renew
To love and honor ev'ryone
And show what God can do.
