Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#57

57. All the World Give Praises Due

1 All the world give praises due;
God is faithful, God is true;
He to man doth comfort send
In His Son, the sinners’ friend.

2 What the fathers wished of old,
What the promises foretold,
What the seers did prophesy
Is fulfilled most gloriously.

3 My Salvation, welcome be;
Thou, my Portion, praise to Thee!
Come, and make Thy blest abode
In my heart, O Son of God.
