Wartburg Hymnal ‎#213

213. Praised be the Lord, my God

1 Praised be the Lord, my God,
My Light, my Life from heaven,
My Maker, who to me
Hath soul and body given;
My Father, who protects
My life from infancy,
Who always hath bestowed
Great gifts of love on me.

2 Praised be the Lord, my God,
My Bliss, my Life from heaven,
The Father's lovéd Son,
Who for mankind was given,
Who hath atoned for me
With His most precious blood,
Who giveth to my faith
The greatest heavenly good.

3 Praised be the Lord, my God,
My Trust, my Life from heaven,
The Father's Spirit, whom
The Son to me hath given;
He who revives my heart
And gives new strength and power,
Aid, comfort, and support
In sorrow's gloomy hour.

4 Praised be the Lord, my God,
He who forever liveth,
To whom the heavenly host
E'er praise and honor giveth;
Praised be the Lord, our God,
In whose great name we boast,
The Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost.
