Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above

lyricist: Johann Schütz, 1675
Composer: Bohemian Brethren, 1556

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 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.

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.
