About this Hymn
Sandra and Kristyn read through Hannah's prayer of thanksgiving in 1 Samuel and were inspired by the way she looked beyond her own life to see the big plans of God's salvation over history. The lyrics follow the main things Hannah knew to be true about the Lord. As parents, we wanted to do the same—to pass on the great plans, the great promises of the Lord to our children. Singing them helps the thoughts stick.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I will pray rejoicing from my heart, pray rejoicing from my heart; for in him my vict'ry's lifted high, his salvation is my cry. He has overcome my enemy; our praises scorn the enemy. I delight in his deliverance; the Lord is our deliverance.
Chorus
Pass the promise to our sons and daughters, God most high, God our Father. We bear witness.
Verse 2
There is no one holy like the Lord, holy, holy is the Lord; our Rock and Refuge is our God, all the earth belongs to God. Do not speak with pride of noble deed; for the Lord will weigh our ev'ry deed. See the strong have lost, the weak have gained; and from the dust my life he raised.
Verse 3
He will guard the feet of faithful ones; he will hold his faithful ones; but the wicked they will not prevail, not by might will man prevail. He is coming soon to judge the earth; he is coming soon to judge the earth, for the Lord gives power to his King, all strength to his anointed King.
I will pray rejoicing from my heart, pray rejoicing from my heart; for in him my vict'ry's lifted high, his salvation is my cry. He has overcome my enemy; our praises scorn the enemy. I delight in his deliverance; the Lord is our deliverance.
Chorus
Pass the promise to our sons and daughters, God most high, God our Father. We bear witness.
Verse 2

Verse 3
He will guard the feet of faithful ones; he will hold his faithful ones; but the wicked they will not prevail, not by might will man prevail. He is coming soon to judge the earth; he is coming soon to judge the earth, for the Lord gives power to his King, all strength to his anointed King.
