Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

lyricist: Joachim Neander
Composer: 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.
