3 Sing praise to God who reigns above

1 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 pain and sorrow stills; To God all praise and glory! 2 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! 3 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! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Savior saw my helplessness, And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God most high, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord is never far away, Forsakes his people never; He is their refuge and their star Their peace and trust forever; And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er they rove: To God all praise and glory! 6 When every earthly hope has flown, From sorrow's sons and daughters, Our Father from His heavenly throne Beholds the troubled waters; And at His word the storm is stayed Which made His children's heart afraid: To God all praise and glory. 7 Thus all my pilgrimage along I'll sing aloud Thy praises That men 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! 8 O ye who bear Christ's holy name, Give God all praise and glory! All ye who own His power, proclaim Aloud the wondrous story; Cast each false idol from His throne, The Lord is God, and He alone: To God all praise and glory!
