                           by Henry Baker, 1821-1877
                                  Text From:
                      THE HANDBOOK TO THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL
              (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942) p.406



        1. Praise, oh, praise, our God and King,
        Hymns of adoration sing;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        2. Praise Him that He made the sun
        Day by day his course to run;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        3. And the silver moon by night,
        Shining with her gentle light;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        4. Praise Him that He gave the rain
        To mature the swelling grain;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        5. And hath bid the fruitful field
        Crops of precious increase yield;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        6. Praise Him for our harvest store,
        He hath filled the garner floor;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        7. And for richer food than this,
        Pledge of everlasting bliss;
        For His mercies still endure,
        Ever faithful, ever sure.

        8. Glory to our bounteous King,
        Glory let creation sing;
        Glory to the Father, Son,
        And the Spirit, Three in One!
