All praise to God Who reigns a-bove,
The God of all cre-a-tion,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our sal-va-tion.
With heal-ing balm my soul is filled
And ev-ery faith-less mur-mur stilled:
To God all praise and glo-ry.
What God's al-might-y power hath made
His gra-cious mer-cy keep-eth,
By morn-ing glow or eve-ning shade
His watch-ful eye ne'er sleep-eth;
With-in the king-dom of His might,
Lo! all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glo-ry.
The Lord is nev-er far a-way,
But through all grief dis-tres-sing,
An ev-er pres-ent help and stay,
Our peace and joy and bless-ing.
As with a mo-ther's ten-der hand,
God gent-ly leads the cho-sen band:
To God all praise and glo-ry.
Thus, all my toil-some way a-long,
I sing a-loud Thy prais-es,
That earth may hear the grate-ful song
My voice un-wea-ried rais-es.
Be joy-ful in the Lord, my heart,
Both soul and bod-y bear your part:
To God all praise and glo-ry.
Let all who name Christ's ho-ly Name
Give God all praise and glo-ry;
Let all who own His power pro-claim
A-loud the won-drous sto-ry!
Cast each false i-dol from its throne,
For Christ is Lord, and Christ a-lone:
To God all praise and glo-ry.
