Praise God, from whom all blessings flow

I love the old hymns. )I love the new praise songs but I love the old songs too. Thank you for publishing them.

I love how the Holy Spirit wells up in us and brings songs to our remembrance.

I just finshed watching a Christian movie. " The Phil Thatcher Story"

As soon as it ended, the words of this hymn came to mind. I began to sing it.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow..." This was eventually Phil's testimony and it is ours.

To God be the glory

Praise the Lord as the source of all blessing,

I too remember this hymn from my childhood-praise God!

I remember this hymn from my childhood, but it is not sung in my current church. However, it often comes to mind and brings me such peace and comfort, reminding me always all blessings come from God Almighty and all creation owes Him all praise and thanksgiving. ❤

Amidst all the craziness and bad news and worries of the day I awoke singing this song. Then I shared it with me text group of friends so they too could be refocused and blessed. It’s easy to get upset about “all the things”. This world often disappoints, but God never does. When I keep my eyes on Him and stay focused on His truth I have peace. Praise God from ALL blessings flow! Amen!!

That second verse is as good an explanation of the role of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as can be found anywhere else! Distinct, and yet co-eternal, co-equal, co-substantial, and co-existant... God!

Ana Lara mentioned in the comments below,

"In 1673 Thomas Ken wrote a book entitled ”A Manual of Prayers for the Use of Winchester College. ” In one of the editions of this manual Ken included three of his hymns that he wanted the students to sing each day as part of their devotions. They were called “Morning Hymn, ” “Evening Hymns, ” and “Midnight Hymn. ” Each of these hymns closed with the familiar four lines we know as the Doxology."

The entire hymns are worth looking at and contain many good devotional thoughts, for example:

Verse 1 - Morning Hymn
1 My God, I now from sleep awake,
The sole possession of me take;
From midnight terrors me secure,
And guard my heart from thoughts impure.

Verse 2 - Evening Hymn
Forgive me Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done,
That with the World, my self, and Thee,
I, e'r I sleep, at peace may be.

To God be the glory
