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.
The angel host, O King of kings,
thy praise for ever telling,
in earth and sky all living things
beneath thy shadow dwelling,
adore the wisdom which could span
and power which formed creation's plan:
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 ne’er 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,
God gently leads the chosen band:
To God all praise and glory.
Thus, all my toilsome way along,
I sing aloud Thy praises,
That earth 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.
O ye who bear Christ’s holy Name
give God all praise and glory;
Let all who own His power proclaim
aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from its throne,
for Lord is God, and he alone:
To God all praise and glory!
---Alternative verses---
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 is filled
and every faithless murmur stilled:
To God all praise and glory.
What in almighty power was made,
God's gracious mercy keepeth.
By morning glow or evening shade,
God's watchful eye never sleepeth.
Within the shelter of God's might,
lo! all is just, and all is right.
Our God 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,
God gently leads the chosen band.
Then all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises:
be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part!
Let all who name Christ’s holy Name
give God all praise and glory;
Let all who own His power proclaim
aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from its throne,
for Christ is Lord, and Christ alone:
To God all praise and glory.
