Praise to the Lord (Wonder and Awe)

Just finished an adaptation of the hymn Praise to the Lord, the Almighty and wanted to share the lyrics with you. I'm unbelievably pleased with how this came about.  Hymns are so timeless!

PRAISE TO THE LORD (WONDER AND AWE)

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation
Oh my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near
Praise Him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee

Chorus:
Lord of all grace we pour out our praise to You
Our King, Our God, Our Savior
In wonder and awe we surrender our all to You
Our King, Our God, Our Savior

Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding
Who, when the godless do triumph all virtue confounding
Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night
Saints with His mercy surrounding

Chorus:
Lord of all grace we pour out our praise to You
Our King, Our God, Our Savior
In wonder and awe we surrender our all to You
Our King, Our God, Our Savior

Bridge:
In wonder and awe, amazed by Your love
By the power of Your blood, we are daughters and sons
In wonder and awe, amazed by Your love
By the power of Your name, You put death in it's grave

Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him
Let the amen sound from His people again
Gladly for aye we adore Him


Chorus:


Lord of all grace we pour out our praise to You
Our King, Our God, Our Savior
In wonder and awe we surrender our all to You
Our King, Our God, Our Savior
