The Minstrel of Zion ‎#150b

150b. Universal praise

1 Praise to God, the great Creator,
Praise to God from every tongue;
Join, my soul, with every creature,
Join the universal song,
Join the universal song.

2 Father, source of all compassion!
Pure, unbounded grace is thine;
Hail, the God of our salvation,
Praise Him for his love divine.

3 Joyfully on earth adore him,
'Till in heaven our song we raise;
Then enraptured fall before him,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

4 Praise to God, the great Creator,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Praise him, every living creature,
Earth and heaven's united host.
