Ascribe Greatness

This apparently well known song was new to me when it was suggested at a meeting about music for Lent.

I found sheet music, which attributes this song to Mary Kirkbride and Marylou Locke, but hymnary adds Peter West to the list of songwriters and notes he has the copyright. Odd.

The tune is a bit fiddly and I note many singers have smoothed out the barbs.

Ascribe greatness to our God, the Rock,
His work is perfect and all His ways are just.
Ascribe greatness to our God, the Rock,
His work is perfect and all His ways are just.

A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Good and upright is He;
A God of faithfulness and without injustice,
Good and upright is He.
