Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#137b

137b. Praise, O praise our God and King!

1 Praise, O praise our God and King!
Hymns of adoration sing:
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Praise Him that gave the rain
To mature the swelling grain;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

3 And hath bid the fruitful field
Crops of precious increase yield;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

4 Praise Him for our harvest-store,
He hath fill'd the garner floor;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

5 And for richer food than this,
Pledge of everlasting bliss;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

6 Glory to our bounteous King!
Glory let creation sing;
Glory to the Father, Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One.
