Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: CWP2021 #65B (2021) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Ev'ry heart its tribute pays Lyrics: 1 Ev'ry heart its tribute pays,
ev'ry tongue its song of praise;
sin and sorrow, guilt and care,
brought to him who answers prayer;
there by grace may humankind
full and free forgiveness find;
called and chosen, loved and blest,
in his presence be at rest.
2 Ever while his deeds endure
our salvation stands secure;
he whose fingers spun the earth,
gave the seas and mountains birth,
tamed the ocean, formed the land,
spread the skies with mighty hand:
far-off shores revere his name,
day and night his pow'r proclaim.
3 Year by year, the seasons 'round
sees the land with blessing crowned,
where caressed by sun and rain
barren earth gives life again;
sunlit valleys burn with gold,
nature smiles on field and fold,
gifts of God in plenty poured:
all things living, praise the Lord! Topics: Creation; Easter Season; Environment; Epiphany Season; Fruits of Faith; Gospel; Gratitude; Joy; Peace; Prayer; Providence; Stewardship; Thanksgiving; Tribute; Worship; Zion Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSORE
