153. Praise the Father, God of justice

Author: Michael Perry (1942-96)

Praise the father, God of justice:
sinners tremble at his voice,
crowns and creatures fall before him,
saints triumphantly rejoice.

2. Praise the Son, who brings redemption,
purging sin and healing pain,
by whose cross and resurrection
we have died to rise again.

3. Praise the Spirit: power and wisdom,
peace that like a river flows,
word of Christ and consolation,
life by whom his body grows.

4. Praise the Father, Son and Spirit,
One-in-Three and Three-in-One,
God our Judge and God our Saviour,
God our heaven on earth begun!
