Verse 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!
Verse 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!
Verse 3:
The Lord is never far away,
Throughout 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!
Verse 4:
Then all my gladsome 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!
