Hymn 163 How can we sing with joy to God?
1 How can we sing to God, how can we pray to him, when we are far away from God in selfishness and sin?
2 How can we claim to do God’s will when we have turned away from things of God to things of earth, and willed to disobey?
3 How can we praise the love of God which all his works make known, when all our works turn from his love to choices of our own?
4 God knows how often we have sinned and joined with godless men, yet in his love he calls to us to win us back again.
5 So we will turn again to God – his ways will be our ways, his will our will, his love our love, and he himself our praise. William Brian Foley 1919 -
