Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above =================================== m: Bohemian Brethren's "Kirchengesange", 1566 w: Johann J. Schutz, 1675; trans. by Frances E. Cox, 1864 Tune: Mit Freuden Zart Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 [Verse 1] Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation; With healing balm my soul he fills, And every faithless murmur stills: To God all praise and glory. [Verse 2] What God's almighty power has made, His gracious mercy keeping; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleeping; Within the kingdom of his might, Lo! all is just and all is right: To God all praise and glory. [Verse 3] Then all my gladsome way along, I sing aloud your praises, That all may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises; Be joyful in the Lord, my heart, Both soul and body sing your part: To God all praise and glory. [Verse 4] Let all who name Christ's holy name, Give God all praise and glory; All you who own his power, proclaim Aloud the wondrous story! Cast each false idol from its throne, The Lord is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory.
