Lyrics:
Lullaby of Praise
Tune: WARUM SOLLT ICH (“All My Heart This Night Rejoices”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2023
Music: Johann G. Ebeling (1666)
Praise to God, for God is worthy
Seers of old have foretold
Covenants of mercy G
od’s great love for us is aching
Guide our feet into peace
As the dawn is breaking
Praise, my soul, for God is holy
Overthrows lofty thrones
Lifting up the lowly
God’s great justice roles reversing
Hungry fed more than bread
Rich and haughty serving
Praise to God who shows us favor
Brings us hope, lifts the low
Sends to us a savior
God’s great mercy here redeeming
Setting free ‘til we see
Earth and heaven meeting
