Blessed Are You

Paul Wilbur Paul Wilbur

A Hymn of Eternal Praise and Divine Order

Paul Wilbur's song "Blessed Are You" is a profound expression of worship and reverence towards God, encapsulating themes of divine wisdom, eternal kingship, and the natural order of creation. The lyrics are deeply rooted in Jewish liturgical traditions, as evidenced by the inclusion of Hebrew phrases such as "Bar'chu et Adonai ham'vorach l'olam vaed," which translates to "Bless the Lord who is blessed forever and ever." This invocation is a call to bless God, acknowledging His eternal nature and sovereignty.

The song emphasizes God's wisdom and understanding in orchestrating the universe. Lines like "By wisdom O Lord, Heaven's gates open up" and "With understanding You order the seasons" highlight the belief that God's intelligence and foresight are behind the creation and maintenance of the cosmos. The imagery of turning darkness into light and arranging the stars speaks to the meticulous care and intentionality with which God governs the natural world. This portrayal of God as the ultimate architect of time and space invites listeners to marvel at the divine order and harmony present in creation.

Furthermore, the song is a declaration of God's unchanging nature and His everlasting rule. Phrases such as "O everliving God rule over us, now and forever the same" underscore the belief in God's eternal presence and unending reign. The repetition of blessings and the acknowledgment of God's holy name, "Lord of Hosts," serve to reinforce the reverence and adoration directed towards the divine. Through its poetic and worshipful language, "Blessed Are You" invites believers to join in a timeless chorus of praise, celebrating the majesty and constancy of God.
