Let All the Nations, the Whole Earth, Praise Him

Here, again, is another of my attempts at hymnody.  I've taken this week's readings from Psalm 67 and John 14: 23 - 29 and adapted them to be sung to Charles H. Gabriel's hymn tune O That Will Be Glory  (also known as The Glory Song)

Let All the Nations, the Whole Earth, Praise Him


May God be gracious and bless us, we pray,
for his good blessings on this and each day;
but not to ourselves this blessing reserve,
Lord, make your ways known through all of the earth.

Let us all praise, the Lord above all.
Let us all praise, the Lord above all.
Be glad and sing for the Lord, he is king;
let all the nations, the whole earth, praise him.

He gives peace to those who follow his word,
not as the world gives, where war is preferred.
The peace he gives comes not through strength and might;
with justice he guides the nations to right.



It's yours if you like it.  Use it freely.
