Hymn 30
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation
- 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.
Brothers and sisters draw near.
Praise Him in glad adoration.
- 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.
- Praise to the Lord, who, when
tempest their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly
around thee are raging,
Biddeth them cease,
Turneth their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.
- Praise to the Lord, who, when
darkness and sin is abounding
Who, when the godless do
triumph, all virtue confounding,
Sheddeth His light,
Chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.
- 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.
