Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Backgrounder: The author of the
original German text is Joachim
Neander (1650-1680), who studied
theology in Bremen. Neander’s
life was tragic – a life of great
potential cut short by tuberculosis.
However, he wrote 60 hymns.
“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”
is based on Psa 103 & 150. It was
also inspired by the beauty of
the hills and rivers that Neander
experienced on his walks
through the German countryside.
We owe a debt of gratitude
to Catherine Winkworth, who
translated this and other German
hymns during the 19th century.
Lord, we praise yr lovingkindness:
Let all that I am praise the Lord,
with my whole heart,
I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the Lord;
may I never forget the good
things he does for me.
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from
destruction, Who crowns you
with lovingkindness and
Who satisfies your mouth
with good things (Psa 103:1-5).
Lord, we praise You for Your
lovingkindness, and thankful
for providing all that we need.
In times of difficulty, we will
Ponder anew What the Almighty
can do. We will ponder “What need
or grief ever had failed of relief”
For indeed our mighty God is not
limited ever & He has sustained
us with wings of an eagle.
And he is our friend and
defender. Praise indeed to
the Lord – The ALMIGHTY!!
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
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;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord,
Who o’er all things so
wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings,
Yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires ever have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord,
Who doth prosper thy work
and defend thee;
Surely His goodness And
mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.
