Sunday Hymn: Praise to the Lord, The Almighty
Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 05:52AM PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY
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, now to his temple draw near,
Join me 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 how thy desires e'er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee!
Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee.
How oft in grief hath not he brought thee relief,
Spreading his wings to o'ershade thee!
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.

It's one of my favorites too. I love to sing it with a congregation of people who love God!
Praise indeed! Beautiful hymn Kim. Have a wonderful day!
I love this one too! Its so joyous and full of worship! Plus its one of only two hymns that I sang in my Roman Catholic growing up years that I still sing in church today. And that reminds me of the unchanging nature of God!
