Give praise to God, who reigns above,
for perfect knowledge, wisdom, love;
his judgments are divine, devout,
his paths beyond all tracing out.
Come, lift your voice to heav’n’s high throne,
and glory give to God alone!
No one can counsel God all-wise
or truths unveil to his sharp eyes;
he marks our paths behind, before;
he is our steadfast Counselor.
Come, lift your voice to heav’n’s high throne,
and glory give to God alone!
Nothing exists that God might need,
for all things good from him proceed.
We praise him as our Lord, and yet
we never place God in our debt.
Come, lift your voice to heav’n’s high throne,
and glory give to God alone!
Creation, life, salvation too,
and all things else both good and true,
come from and through our God always,
and fill our hearts with grateful praise.
Come, lift your voice to heav’n’s high throne,
and glory give to God alone!
