Praise God, from whom all blessings flow


Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

From all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through ev'ry land by ev'ry one

Eternal are Thy mercies Lord;
And truth eternal is Thy Word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more

Text: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711Music: Louis Bourgeois, ca. 1510-1561. From Genfer Psalter, 16th century.
