Praise to the Living God!

Praise to the liv­ing God!

All prais­èd be His name

Who was

and is

and is to be

And still the same!

The one eter­nal God

Ere aught that now ap­pears;

The first

the last: be­yond all thought

His time­less years!

His Spir­it flow­eth free

High surg­ing where it will;

In pro­phet’s word He spoke of old;

He speak­eth still.

Established is His law

And change­less it shall stand

Deep writ up­on the hu­man heart

On sea or land.

He hath eter­nal life

Implanted in the soul;

His love shall be our strength and stay

While ag­es roll.

Praise to the liv­ing God!

All prais­èd be His name

Who was

and is

and is to be

And still the same.
