Author: Frances E. Cox (1812-1897); Johann J.Schütz (1640-1690) Hymnal: The Hymnbook #15 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing 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 all 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 all praise and glory.
3 The Lord is never far away,
But, through all grief distressing,
An everpresent help and stay,
Our peace, and joy, and blessing;
As with a mother's tender hand,
He leads His own, His chosen band:
To God all praise and glory.
4 Thus, all my toilsome way along,
I sing aloud Thy praises,
That men 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 all praise and glory.
Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise; Adoration and Praise Scripture: Psalm 91 Tune Title: MIT FREUDEN ZART
