Praise to the Lord!

Praise to the Lord, the
Almighty The King of Creation!
Oh my soul praise Him for
He is thy Health and Salvation.
Join the full throng,
Wake up in psalter and song
Sound for in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, Who o’er
All things so wondrously reigneth!
Who, as an wings of an eagle
Uplifteth, sustaineth.
Has thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth.

Praise to the Lord, Who doth
Prosper thy work and defend thee!
Who from the Heavens, the
Streams of His mercy doth send thee,
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord, Oh let
All that is in me adore Him!
All that have life and breath
Come now with praises before Him!
Let the ‘Amen’
Sound from His people again
Gladly for aye we adore Him!

Joachim Neander, 1680

This hymn has become a theme song for me over the past few months. It never fails to lift my spirits no matter how things are going.
