Author: Johann J. Schütz, 1640-1690; Frances E. Cox, 1812-1897 Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #610 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Scripture: Psalm 96:1-8 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;
With healing balm my soul he fills,
And ev'ry faithless murmur stills:
To God all praise and glory.
2 What God's almighty power has made,
His gracious mercy keeping;
By morning glow or evening shade
His watchful eye ne'er sleeping;
Within the kingdom of his might,
Lo! all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory.
3 Then all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud your praises,
That all may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises;
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
Both soul and body sing your part:
To God all praise and glory.
4 Let all who name Christ's holy name,
Give God all praise and glory;
All you who own his power, proclaim
Aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from its throne,
The Lord is God, and he alone:
To God all praise and glory.
