387 Praise to the Father, the glorious King of creation!

1 Praise to the Father, the glorious King of creation! Swell the loud chorus, ye chosen of every nation! O my soul, awake! Harp, lute and psaltery take, Sound forth thy true adoration. 2 Praise to the Son: for the cross that once shamefully bore Him, Now, on the throne of His power let all creatures adore Him! Man reigns on high! Lo! all the hosts of the sky Bow down and worship before Him! 3 Praise to the Spirit, whose strong, rushing wind, ever blowing, Still through the world, wheresoever it listeth, is going: Darkness and death Drink, from Thy quickening breath, Life, light and joy overflowing. 4 Lord God Almighty, Creator, Redeemer and Giver, Thy praise resounds by the shore of the bright crystal river: We, too, would fain, Echoing humbly the strain, Praise Thee for ever and ever.
