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 pow'r proclaim Aloud the wondrous story. Cast ev'ry idol from its throne, For God is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: LOBT GOTT DEN HERREN, IHR
