Poems (Follen)/Hymn (Praise to God, O let us raise)
HYMN.
Praise to God, O let us raise From our hearts a song of praise; Of that goodness let us sing, Whence our lives and blessings spring
Praise to him who made the light; Praise to him who gave us sight; Praise to him who formed the ear: Will he not his children hear?
Praise him for our happy hours; Praise him for our varied powers; For these thoughts that rise above,For these hearts he made for love.
For the voice he placed within, Bearing witness when we sin: Praise to him whose tender care Keeps this watchful guardian there.
Praise his mercy, that did send Jesus for our guide and friend: Praise him, every heart and voice,Him who makes all worlds rejoice.
