His Fullness Songs ‎#12

12. 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!
Come ye who hear,
Now to His great throne draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!

2 Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen
All that is needfull hath been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

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