PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY
Lyrics: Joachim Neander?
Music: Praxis Pietatis Melica
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
? the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy
? health and salvation!
? ? All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near;
Sing now in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all
? things so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle,
? uplifteth, sustaineth.
? ? Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
? wondrously, made thee!
Health hath vouchsafed and, when
? heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
? ? What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
? thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of
? His mercy doth send thee.
? ? Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that
? is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
? now with praises before Him!
? ? Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
