Praise to the Lord, the Almighty ================================ w. Joachim Neander, 1860 (Ps. 103:1-6; 150) m. "Straslund Gesangbuch," 1665 Tune Name: Lobe den Herren Meter: 14.14.4.7.8. [Verse 1] Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the king of creation! O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation! Come, all who hear; Brothers and sisters draw near, Praise him in glad adoration! [Verse 2] Praise to the Lord, above all things so mightily reigning; Keeping us safe at his side, and so gently sustaining. Have you not seen All you have needed has been Met by his gracious ordaining? [Verse 3] Praise to the Lord, who shall prosper our work and defend us; Surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend us. Ponder anew What the Almighty can do, Who with his love will befriend us. [Verse 4] Praise to the Lord -- O let all that is in us adore him! All that has life and breath come now with praises before him! Let the "Amen!" Sound from his people again -- Gladly with praise we adore him!
