We Sing To You O God We sing to you, O God, The Rock who gave us birth, Let our rejoicing sing your name in all the earth. To you, O God, let songs be raised in joyful hymns, our feast of praise. We wandered far from home, Out in a desert land, You shielded with your love our fearful pilgrim band. You kept us safe within your arms and sheltered us against the storm. You bear us through the world, An eagle to her young, Who rises on her wings and bears us toward the sun. We ride the vaults of light and air and trust in your unfailing care. O God, eternal God, We hide within your wings, The everlasting arms to whom our praises ring! Your word is true, your way is just, you are the God in whom we trust.
