With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed, creation's plan: To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning dawn or evening shade, His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of His might, Lo! all is just and all is right: To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Savior saw my helplessness And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God most high, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord is never far away, Forsakes his people never; He is their refuge and their stay, Their peace and trust forever; And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er thy rove; To God all praise and glory! 6 When every earthly hope has flown From sorrow's sons and daughters, Our Father from His heavenly throne Beholds the troubled waters; And at His word the storm is stayed Which made His children's heart afraid: To God all praise and glory. 7 Thus all my pilgrimage along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises: Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! 8 O ye who bear Christ’s holy name, Give God all praise and glory! All ye who own His power, proclaim Aloud the wondrous story; Cast each false idol from His throne, The Lord is God, and He alone: To God all praise and glory!
