Sing praise to
God who reins 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!
What
God's almighty power hath made
His
gracious mercy keepeth,
By morning glow or
evening shade
His watchful eye never
sleepeth;
Within the
kingdom of his might, Lo!
all is
just and all is right:
To God all praise and
Glory!
The Lord is
never far away,
But, through all
grief distressing,
An ever
present 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!
Thus all my
toilsome way along
I sing aloud his praises,
That men may hear the
grateful song
My voice
unweried raises;
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and
body bear your part:
To God all praise and
glory!
