Music by Stralsund Gesangbuch, words by Joachim Neander; tr. Catherine Winkworth
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation.
All those who hear,
Now to His great throne draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
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 needful has been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
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,
He who with love does befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore Him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him;
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
