Song of Zechariah (Blest Be the God of Israel)

Author: Michael A. Perry Hymnal: Voices United #901 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs First Line: Blest be the God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blest be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free, who visits and redeems us and grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release; God shall fulfill the promise to bring the people peace. 2 Now from the house of David a child of grace is given; a Saviour comes among us to raise us up to heaven. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of Day. 3 On prisoners of darkness the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner's eyes, to guide the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace; O bless our God and Saviour with songs that never cease!

The feast, though not the love, is past and gone: the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.
