Praise God Who Gives Us Victory

By Greg Wright, May 6, 2011
Uses the same tune and meter as Charles Wesley’s ‘O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing’
Written to thank God for success over Osama Bin Laden.


Praise God who gives us victory,
Who grants success in war.
Bin Laden lies beneath the sea.
He’ll trouble us no more.

Praise God for mothers, fathers too,
Who for our soldiers pray,
Who trust that God will keep them safe,
Preserve them every day.

They know that only God above
Can give us victory.
In God alone we place our trust
To keep our nation free.

The ones who brought Bin Laden down,
They are our nation’s best.
Yet might alone does not prevail
Our God must grant success.

Praise God for mercy deep and wide!
Let us His name adore.
Let us repent of foolish pride,
No longer God ignore.

Indeed, let us with grateful hearts
Give praise to God above.
Who though we have not kept His law
Still bears us up in love.

Oh Lord revive our sinful land;
Cause us to seek your face.
Draw back our wandering hearts to you,
Restore us by your grace.
