Praise God, from whom all blessings flow

1
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
2
Praise God the Father who's the source;
Praise God the Son who is the course;
Praise God the Spirit who's the flow;
Praise God, our portion here below!

This is for Tope and others:

From all that dwell below the skies

Let faith and hope with love arise

Let beauty, truth, and good be sung

Through every land by every tongue

Found a hymn that Thomas Ken 1637 -1711 also wrote which included as the last verse -wait for it

Here’s the last stanza

Praise God from whom all blessings flow...

Glad to see so many posts from people who enjoy the old hymns. God’s blessings on each of you

While having my quiet and private moment with my heavenly Father the song came and had to sing it out. I remember the wordings of the first verse and googled to sing the other verses. I thought it had more than two. It also reminds me of Sundays at the Cathedral Church of Christ. It was one of the frequently sung hymns.

As a Zionist I have been singing the first verse of this hymn as an introit. It feels great to know there is a second verse and that I can sing with it.

The first two lines of this hymn have been in my head for a week. I couldn't remember the entire first verse. Thank you for filling in the blanks.

Thank You, I am grateful to be able to find this hymn I was asked about it and now to be able to share/ give the person a copy of it is a blessing. Again thank you.

Formerly, God was outside of man and had nothing to do with man; there was a great distance between God and man. However, the Triune God desires to transmit Himself into us. In order for the Triune God to fulfill this desire, God the Father is the source, God the Son is the course, and God the Spirit is the flow (2 Cor. 13:14). This thought is expressed in the second stanza of a hymn in our hymnal: "Praise God the Father who's the source; / Praise God the Son who is the course; / Praise God the Spirit who's the flow; / Praise God, our portion here below!" (Hymns, #8). The Spirit is revealed as the flow of the Trinity in Revelation 22:1. This verse says that the river of water of life, a symbol of the Spirit, proceeds out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of the street (cf. John 7:37-39). This indicates that the Spirit as the river of water of life flows and that this river has not only a source from which it flows but also a course, a way in which the source flows. In Revelation 22:1 the Triune God, the Divine Being, is portrayed as living water in three aspects: the source, the course, and the flow. God the Father is the source of the river of water of life, God the Son is the course of this river, and God the Spirit is the flow of the river. In the New Jerusalem the river of water of life spirals down from the throne in the middle of the golden street to water the whole city. This is a picture of the transmission of the Triune God as living water into the believers. When the Spirit as the flow comes to reach us, the entire Triune God is transmitted into us.
