May GAFCON be a Global Gathering of Praise to the Savior

(Note: this worship song was offered at the installation of Martyn Minns as CANA's missionary bishop).

From this morning’s Psalter (1928 BCP, USA)

Psalm 102 gives a prophetic description of the suffering, abandoned Savior. And in the middle of the Psalm, there is a wonderful outpouring of praise, as the people he saves all across time and place come to Jerusalem to worship:

18 Let this be recorded for future generations,
so that a people not yet born will praise the LORD.
19 Tell them the LORD looked down
from his heavenly sanctuary.
He looked down to earth from heaven
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to release those condemned to die.
21 And so the LORD’s fame will be celebrated in Zion,
his praises in Jerusalem,
22 when multitudes gather together
and kingdoms come to worship the LORD.

May GAFCON be a gathering of global praise to the Savior!
