Ascribe to God, O Mighty Ones (Psalm 29)

“When God Restored Our Common Life” The Faith We Sing, #2182

Ascribe to God, O mighty ones, all glory and all strength
And give to Him, you heavenly hosts, the glory due His name
The splendor of His holiness compels His saints to come
All angels and all humans bow before His holy throne.

His voice is on the waters and He thunders on the sea
So resonant His mighty voice, so full of majesty
He breaks the lofty cedars with a flash across the sky
He strips the leafy forests bare, and “Glory!” is our cry.

He sits, enthroned, above the flood, forever King and Lord
He gives His people strength and love; we worship and adore.
The blessings of the universe He showers upon our head
Such tender mercies given us, the life and love we need.

Let angels wonder and adore, his servants, great and strong
And “Holy! Holy! Holy!” cry around the heavenly throne
We sing sweet songs of praise and love, we offer up our lives
Each thought , each word, each daily deed, a living sacrifice.
