75. O God, we thank you that your name

Author: v1, 2 & 4 Michael Perry (1942-96)

O God, we thank you that your name
is known and feared through all the earth;
your sentence waits the appointed time
and thunder brings your judgements forth.

2. The proud are cautioned not to boast,
the wicked, not to raise their eyes,
for you are king from east to west,
and you alone shall have the praise!

3. O Lord, you judge us all, and hold
the wine cup in your sovereign hand;
so all the wicked of this world
shall taste the dregs, the bitter end.

4. We come before you, God of gods-
your power shall cut the wicked down;
we worship you, the Lord of lords-
you lift us up to share your throne!
