Millennium Prayer and Praise Song
Tune: Coe Fen
Lord God to whom one earthly day
Is like a thousand years,
And every long millennial age
As but one day appears;
You live and reign beyond all time
On heaven’s awesome throne,
Yet in your Son who came on earth
Life’s mystery make known.
In Christ unchangeably the same
Through all earth’s yesterdays,
You showed your constant Father love
Revealed in countless ways.
In Christ your love and mercy came
To heal sin’s death-filled sting,
And give our world new hope and life
In Bethlehem’s blessed king.
To you our Father and our God,
We lift our hearts in praise
For Christ, whose grace-filled Calvary love
Still flows through present days;
We honour him, who at your side,
Reigns gloriously the same
And whom the Spirit’s work extols
Lord, over every name!
