Blessed Be the God of Israel (Forest Green) Lyrics

Blessed be the god of Israel

Who comes to set us free

And raises up new hope for us

A Branch from David's tree

So have the prophets long declared

That with a mighty arm

God would turn back our enemies

And all who wish us harm

With promised mercy will God still

The covenant recall

The oath once sworn to Abraham

From foes to save us all

That we might worship without fear

And offer lives of praise

In holiness and righteousness

To serve God all our days

My child, as prophet of the Lord

You will prepare the way

To tell God's people they are saved

From sin's eternal sway

Then shall God's mercy from on high

Shine forth and never cease

To drive away the gloom of death

And lead us into peace
