Lord God, We All to Thee Give Praise

Author: Philipp Melanchthon; Paul Eber; Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:14 Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all to Thee give praise, Thanksgivings meet to Thee we raise, That angel hosts Thou didst create Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They shine with light and heav’nly grace And constantly behold Thy face; They heed Thy voice, they know it well, In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With Thee, Lord Jesus, and to keep Thy little flock, Thy lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient Dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he of old deceived the world And into sin and death was hurled, So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and Church and State. 6 A roaring lion, round he goes, No halt nor rest he ever knows; He seeks the Christians to devour And slay them by his dreadful power. 7 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on every hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the Foe. 8 For this, now and in days to be, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With grateful songs forevermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

O may we stand around thy throne, and see thy glory there! 5 Jesu, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now and through eternity. 6 All praise to thee who art gone up triumphantly to heaven; all praise to God the Father's name, and Holy Ghost be given.
