Ascribe to the Lord Our God

lyricist: Susan Peterson, 1999

Ascribe to the Lord our God

Ascribe to Him glo­ry

might.

Ascribe to the Lord the glo­ry due His name

And wor­ship Him aright.

Come wor­ship in the splen­dor of ho­li­ness.

The voice of the Lord is heard;

The Lord thun­ders o’er the sea.

The voice of the Lord is pow­er­ful and strong;

God speaks with ma­jes­ty.

We hear Your voice and wor­ship in ho­li­ness.

God’s voice breaks the ce­dars tall;

He strips all the fo­rests bare.

The mount­ains He shakes; they skip just like a calf.

His glo­ry all de­clare.

We hear Your voice and wor­ship in ho­li­ness.

The voice of the Lord does strike

With flash­es of light­ning bright.

The voice of the Lord does shake the des­ert sands;

The deer give birth in fright.

We hear Your voice and wor­ship in ho­li­ness.

The Lord o’er the flood did reign;

As King

He’s for­e’er en­throned.

The Lord gives His people strength for ev­ery day;

With peace

they’re blessed and crowned.

You’ve blessed us

Lord; we wor­ship in ho­li­ness.
