Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.2. The Lord is God; ’tis he alone That life, and breath, and all bestow; We are his work, and not our own, The sheep that find in Him our home.3. In Christ my hopes and wishes meet, And make my meditations sweet; His praises shall my breath employ, Till it expire in endless joy.4. From all that dwell beneath the skies Let the Creator’s praise arise Let our Redeemer’s name be sung Through ev’ry land, by ev’ry tongue.5. Eternal are Thy mercies Lord; Eternal truth attends Thy Word; Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore Till suns shall rise and set no more.
