All Things Praise Thee
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Art and Beauty, Theology for Girls Sunday Sep 14, 2008All things praise Thee, Lord most high,
Heav’n and earth and sea and sky,
All were for Thy glory made,
That Thy greatness thus displayed
Should all worship bring to Thee;
All things praise Thee—Lord, may we!All things praise Thee—night to night
Sings in silent hymns of light;
All things praise Thee—day to day
Chants Thy power in burning ray;
Time and space are praising Thee,
All things praise Thee—Lord, may we!All things praise Thee—high and low,
Rain and dew and sparkling snow,
Crimson sunset, fleecy cloud,
Rippling stream, and tempest loud;
Summer, winter, all to Thee
Glory render—Lord, may we!All things praise Thee—Heav’n’s high shrine
Rings with melody divine;
Lowly bending at Thy feet,
Seraph and archangel meet;
This their highest bliss, to be
Ever praising—Lord, may we!All things praise Thee—gracious Lord,
Great Creator, powerful Word,
Omnipresent Spirit, now
At Thy feet we humbly bow;
Lift our hearts in praise to Thee;
All things praise Thee—Lord, may we!
Listen here for young brothers in the Lord, praising God through shape-note singing.
Just wanted you to know how much I’ve enjoyed your site! Many neat things on here! I stumbled upon it in a search for a hymn text and found it quite interesting, especially finding out that you were on the field with MTW. My parents are in training now to leave for Latvia next year to do similar work that it sounds like you and your husband did in the Ukraine!
(I’m in college at Toccoa Falls College in northeast Georgia, so I won’t be going with them.)
God bless!!
Hi, Audria!
It’s great to meet you! I hope that your parents start blogging — I think it is one of the best ways for people serving overseas to keep in touch with their family, church and supporters. Latvia? How cool! I haven’t been there, and honestly, don’t know anyone there — probably the only country in that part of the world where we don’t have friends. Even though you are in college right now, I hope you get to go over and spend a lot of time with them.
Grace and hope,
TulipGirl
