Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

1
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
  the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy
  health and salvation!
    All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near;
Sing now in glad adoration!
2
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all
  things so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle,
  uplifteth, sustaineth.
    Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
3
Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
  wondrously, made thee!
Health hath vouchsafed and, when
  heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
    What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.
4
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.
5
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that
  is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
  now with praises before Him!
    Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

Hast thou not seen

How thy desires all have been

Granted in what He ordaineth?

I have seen the Almighty granting my desires in what he has ordained. In tears I told the Lord to lead me to a church that loves him, honors him and recognize him as their Lord, many months later, the Lord granted my desire. I can’t help but sing with so much joy in my heart❤️

Praise God! 🥳

It must be an act of grace that, though this song was composed so many centuries ago, yet it never fails to uplift and inspire each generation. My soul always soars when I sing this song, no matter what's happening in my life. I hope you'll keep it close to your heart also.

This hymn has been bubbling up in my soul quite often recently. This morning before returning to work as a teacher tomorrow I was stirred to look up the lyrics , sing it all and attempt to play it on piano in worship. What an anthem it is full of testimony to the Lord's faithful goodness!

For God the creator to love and befriend me. It is the greatest thing that could ever happen to humanity.

"Let all that is me adore Him! All that has life and breathe, come now with praises before Him."

Praises belong to our Creator God.

This song came to me while worshipping this morning.

(Ponder anew what the Almighty indeed can do and how our desires are actually granted in what he ordained)

This part of the song always comforts.
