Ps. 150:6, All that hath breath praise the Lord.

1. Wondrous King, all-glorious,
   Sov’reign Lord victorious,
   Oh, receive our praise with favor!
   From Thee welled God’s kindness
   Though we in our blindness
   Strayed from Thee, our blessèd Savior.
   Strengthen Thou,
   Help us now;
   Let our tongues be singing,
   Thee our praises bringing.

2. Heavens, spread the story
   Of our Maker’s glory,
   All the pomp of earth obscuring.
   Sun, thy rays be sending,
   Thy bright beams expending,
   Light to all the earth assuring.
   Moon and star,
   Praise afar
   Him who glorious made you;
   The vast heavens aid you.

3. O my soul, rejoicing,
   Sing, thy praises voicing,
   Sing, with hymns of faith adore Him!
   All who here have being,
   Shout, your voices freeing,
   Bow down in the dust before Him.
   He is God
   Sabaoth;
   Praise alone the Savior,
   Here and there forever.

4. Alleluias render
   To the Lord most tender,
   Ye who know and love the Savior.
   Alleluias sing ye,
   Ye redeeemed, oh, bring ye
   Hearts that yield Him glad behavior.
   Blest are ye
   Endlessly;
   Sinless there forever,
   Ye shall laud Him ever.

Wunderbarer König
