1 All praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation;
with healing balm my soul he fills,
and every faithless murmur stills:
to God be praise and glory!
2 What God's almighty power hath made
his gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning glow or evening shade
his watchful eye ne'er sleepeth:
within the kingdom of his might
lo, all is just, and all is right:
to God be praise and glory!
3 Then all my gladsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises:
be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body bear your part:
to God be praise and glory!
4 O ye who name Christ's holy name,
give God all praise and glory:
all ye who own his power, proclaim
aloud the wondrous story.
Cast each false idol from his throne,
the Lord is God, and he alone:
to God be praise and glory!
