When I received the music for this week’s bulletin (I create the bulletins for our church Redeemer. And now I have to publicly take credit for all the errors… Yikes), I was excited the following hymn was on the docket. I love this hymn. Even without a powerful organ behind it, the melody and lyrics are incredibly stirring. I always feel like the roof is being blown off the church building in praise to our Creator when we sing this one, as though the worship is going straight through to Heaven, accompanied by the angels and saints from ages past.

We have a mighty God, worthy of praise.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

1. Praise to the Lord,
The Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him,
For He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.

2. Praise to the Lord,
Who over all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings,
Yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen
How all your longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

3. Praise to the Lord,
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness
And mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.

4. Praise to the Lord,
O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath,
Come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
