26 Give praise to God our King
1 Give praise to God our King,
O earth and heaven!
Of grace and mercy sing,
So freely given.
O Savior, who hast died
Our expiation,
Thy name be glorified,
Thy name be glorified
By all creation.
2 O Holy Ghost, our guide
To heavenly glory,
In all our hearts abide,
Lord, we implore Thee
In us, blest Spirit, reign,
Thine aid bestowing;
Our souls with peace sustain,
Peace still o'erflowing.
3 Lift we our hearts on high
In adoration;
Our Lord is ever nigh
With consolation.
Let every grief be still;
Light He will send us;
In life, in death, He will,
Always defend us.
