94. Sing praise to God who reigns above

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.
With healing balm my soul he fills,
And every raging tempest stills;
To God all praise and glory!

2 The angel host, O King of kings,
Thy praise forever telling,
In earth and sky all living things,
Beneath Thy shadow dwelling,
Adore the wisdom which could span,
And power, which formed creation's plan;
To God all praise and glory!

3 What God’s almighty power hath made,
His gracious mercy keepeth,
By morning glow or evening shade
His watchful eye ne’er sleepeth:
Within the kingdom of His might,
Lo, all is just and all is right;
To God all praise and glory!

4 I cried to God in my distress,
His mercy heard me calling;
My Saviour saw my helplessness,
And kept my feet from falling;
For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee!
Praise God most High, praise God with me!
To God all praise and glory!

5 The Lord is never far away,
Forsakes His people never,
His is their refuge and their stay,
Their peace and trust forever;
And with a mother's watchful love,
He guides them, wheresoe'er they rove:
To God all praise and glory!

6 When ever earthly hope has flown
From sorrow's sons and daughters,
Our Father, from His heavenly throne,
Beholds the troubled waters,
And at His word the storm is stayed
Which made His children's hearts afraid:
To God all praise and glory!

7 Thus all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises:
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part:
To God all praise and glory!

8 Ye who confess Christ’s holy name,
To God our Lord give glory!
Ye who the Father's power proclaim,
To God our Lord, give glory!
All idols under foot be trod:
The Lord is God, the Lord is God!
To God all praise and glory!

9 Then come before His presence now,
And banish all your sadness;
Unto the Most High pay your vow,
And sing with joy and gladness:
Though sorrow great our soul befell,
The Lord our God did all things well:
To God all praise and glory!
