Hymn Book ‎#93

93. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near,
Join me in glad adoration!

2 Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things is wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth;
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

3 Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee,
Health hath vouchsafed, and, when heedlessly falling, has stayed Thee;
Fainting and weak,
When not a word thou couldst speak,
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.

4 Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely, His goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee;
Ponder anew,
What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriends thee!

5 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him!
