Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

I played a collection of baby praise songs this morning and this hymn caught my attention. I particularly was drawn to the line, "Hast thou not seen how thy desires have been granted in what He ordaineth?" God has granted desires of my heart graciously, though I in no way deserve it. Thank you for your love and grace, Lord. I love you, Jesus.

Had this song stuck in my head all night. Woke up to search it up and sing. I love the words, the meaning, the comfort. Hymns are so beautiful and this one is no different.

Years ago, we used to sing this great hymn in the Presbyterian church. Now that I am older, this hymn goes through my mind and I get to humming it.

Beautiful words to a wonderful old hymn to help me fix my eyes above as I begin my quiet time today. I’m so grateful for the memories it calls up of the faithful people who have gone on before. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

I had this hymn running in my mind a few hours ago. I contacted a fellow Christian friend and hummed this tune to him. He took about half an hour and got back to me with the song on YouTube. This hymn has such a sweet uplifting melody to praise the Almighty Lord and Saviour of all mankind. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Praise the Lord. Alleluia.

Such a blessing!

Joachim Neander, became famous in just a short amount of time. He only lived to age 30. Wasting away of tuberculosis, just as he turned 30, Joachim lived in a corner of Germany named after his own family, the Neander Valley. It was here nearly 200 years after his death, that a skull was discovered, Which led to the idea of the “Neanderthal man, ” named after this very same, Calvinist pastor, schoolmaster, and hymn writer. Before he passed away, Neander had composed some 60 hymns, one being the still well known, “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty. ” Although growing up, living a rather loose and immoral life, Joachim was dramatically converted at a young age as he attended a service by a visiting preacher. Serving as a school-master for sometime, Joachim nevertheless, ran into trouble by attaching himself to the Pietists, whose focus on individual spirituality, round counter to the traditions of the established Lutheran Church. Dismissed from his post, Joachim lived part of his life in seclusion in the Neander Valley. Then declining health cut short his life. In spite of these difficulties, Joachim’s hymns are filled with joy and praise, and have blessed many down through the centuries.

I went to sleep last night with this song on my mind and in my heart. I woke this morning and it was still with me. I could not remember all the words, so I googled the songs lyrics. I found that many have been praising God in the midst of these perilous times. He is the King of all Kings and the ruler of our universe. We will praise HIM and humbly bow before HIM. Love You Lord!

Praising God is not obtional but necessary in repective of who you're and what you have, the moment you praise, more of him is revealed.

I most at times feel more of his praised and prayer's.

I woke very early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. This old hymn was playing in my head. So glad to have all of the words here.

" Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him."
