5. Praise Thou the Lord, the Almighty

1. Praise thou the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
Join with the throng:
Sing Him a tuneful new song;
Bring Him thy glad adoration!

2. Praise thou the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth;
Who as on wings of an eagle uplifteth, sustaineth;
Canst thou not trace
How that His goodness and grace
Always thy welfare ordaineth?

3. Praise thou the Lord, who so fearfully, wondrously made thee,
And who thy health hath bestowed, and most lovingly stayed thee,
Who in thy need
Proveth a helper indeed,
- Wings of His mercy e’er shade thee

4. Praise thou the Lord, who doth visibly bless and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of His goodness doth send thee,
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do;
Who with His love doth befriend thee!

5. Praise thou the Lord, praise His Name, yea, and worship before Him;
All that is in me, with Abraham’s children, adore Him!
He is thy Light;
Soul, keep it ever in sight,
Gladly forever adore Him!
