PRAISE TO THE LORD

1. 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;
Join me in glad adoration!

2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all
things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings yea,
so gently sustaineth!
Hast Thou not seen
How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee;
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.

4. Praise to the Lord, who with
marvelous wisdom hath made thee!
Decked thee with health, and with
loving hand guided and stayed thee;
How oft in grief
Hath not He brought thee relief,
Spreading His wings for thee to
shade thee!

5. Praise to the Lord! O 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.
