(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation,
The God of pow’r, the God of love, The God of our salvation;
With healing balm my soul He fills, And ev’ry faithless murmur stills:
To God all praise and glory!
2
What God’s almighty pow’r 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 il right:
To God all praise and glory!
3
The Lord is never far away, But, thru 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!
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!
