The Lord, My God, Be Praised |
Johann Olearius, 1671; German text
The Lord, my God, be praised, My Light, my Life from heaven; My Maker, who to me Hath soul and body given; My Father, who doth shield And keep me day by day, Doth make each moment yield New blessings on my way.
2. The Lord, my God, be praised, | 3. The Lord, my God, be praised, My Hope, my Life from heaven, The Spirit, whom the Son In love to me hath given. 'Tis He revives my heart, 'Tis He that gives me power, Help, comfort, and support In sorrow's gloomy hour.
4. The Lord, my God, be praised, |
5. To Him with joyful song Our praises we are bringing And with the angel throng Thrice "Holy" we are singing. With one united voice The Church doth Him adore, The Lord, my God, be praised Now and forevermore. |
