Author: Cyriacus Günther, 1649-1704 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #122 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 With joyful heart your praises bring
To God the Fount of blessing:
His everlasting goodness sing,
His holy Name confessing:
Our God let all creation bless;
He is our aid in all distress:
Oh, bless His Name forever,
Oh, bless His Name forever.
2 Praise God who to the cross and grave
Hath sent His Son from heaven;
His death that did the guilty save,
Eternal life hath given.
He hath redeemed our souls from hell;
Now peace for God with men doth dwell:
Oh, bless His Name forever,
Oh, bless His Name forever.
3 Praise God who by His Spirit's light
To faith our souls awaketh:
Our souls with gifts of grace and might,
He strong, He steadfast maketh.
His Word doth light our heavenward way;
His grace inclines us to obey:
Oh, bless His Name forever,
Oh, bless His Name forever.
4 Ye mighty Seraphim, your praise
Still to the Lord be bringing.
Let all in heaven their voices raise;
Let earth break forth in singing.
Whate'er hath breath shall Him adore,
Him first, Him last, Him evermore:
Oh, bless His Name forever,
Oh, bless His Name forever.
Amen. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: MIN JESUS ÄR MIN HERDE GOD
