Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above

Author: Johann J. Schütz; Frances Cox Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 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. My soul with comfort rich he fills, and every grief he gently stills: to God all praise and glory! 2 What God’s almighty power has made, in mercy he is keeping; by morning glow or evening shade his eye is never sleeping. And where he rules in kingly might, there all is just and all is right: to God all praise and glory! 3 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! 4 Let all who name Christ’s holy name give God the praise and glory. Let all who know his power proclaim aloud the wondrous story. Cast every idol from its throne; the Lord is God, and he alone: to God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: MIT FREUDEN ZART

All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Topics: The Going Forth Recessional Hymns Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
