Verse 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 faithless murmur stills:
to God all praise and glory.
Verse 2
What God's almighty power has made
in mercy He is keeping;
by morning glow or evening shade
His eye is never sleeping;
within the kingdom of His might,
lo! all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory.
Verse 3
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
He leads His own, His chosen band:
to God all praise and glory.
Verse 4
We sought the Lord in our distress;
O God, in mercy hear us.
Our Savior saw our helplessness
and came with peace to cheer us.
For this we thank and praise the Lord,
who is by one and all adored:
to God all praise and glory!
Verse 5
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.
