About this Hymn
Based on Psalm 67, this selection is a great opener for a time of worship. It begins by declaring our position in Christ and what he has won for us, and it calls us to celebrate our own personal journey of discovery in coming to faith. It then goes on to describe the ongoing journey of living for Christ, his gifts to us, and the way we are drawn more and more to his likeness throughout every stage and element of human life. The chorus is a refrain or response in which we are invited to recognize and declare God's centrality in our lives. – Stuart Townend
Lyrics
Verse 1
You have called us out of darkest night, into your glorious light that we may sing the wonders of the risen Christ.
Chorus
May the peoples praise you, let the nations be glad! All your blessing comes that we may praise, may praise the name of Jesus.
Verse 2
May our ev'ry breath retell the grace that broke into our strife with boundless love and deepest joy, with endless life.
Verse 3
All the earth is yours and all within, each harvest is your own, and from your hand we give to you, to make Christ known.
Verse 4
May the seeds of mercy grow in us for those who have not heard, may songs of praise build lives of grace to spread your word.
Verse 5
This our holy priv'lege: to declare your praises and your name; to ev'ry nation, tribe, and tongue your church proclaims.
