1 All praise to Him Who built the hills; All praise to Him the streams Who fills; All praise to Him Who lights each star That sparkles in the sky afar. 2 All praise to Him Who wakes the morn, And bids it glow with beams new-born; Who draws the shadows of the night, Like curtains, o'er our wearied sight. 3 All praise to Him Whose love hath given, In Christ His Son, the life of heaven; Who gives us, for our darkness, light, And turns to day our deepest night. 4 All praise to Him in love Who came, To bear our woe, and sin, and shame; Who lived to die, Who died to rise, The all-prevailing the sacrifice. 5 All praise to Him Who sheds abroad Within our hearts the love of God: The Spirit of all truth and peace, The fount of joy and holiness. 6 To Father, Son, and Spirit now Our hands we lift, our knees we bow: To Thee, blest Trinity, we raise E'en here, in exile, songs of praise. Amen.
