530. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

1 Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
Let all who hear now to his temple draw near,
joining in glad adoration.

2 Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things is wondrously reigning;
shelt'ring you under his wings, O, so gently sustaining.
Have you not seen all you have needed has been
met by his gracious ordaining.

3 Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;
surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
Ponder anew what the almighty can do,
if with his love he befriend you.

4 Praise to the Lord! O, let all that is in me adore him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him!
Let the amen sound from his people again.
Gladly forever adore him!
