199. All Praise to Him Who Reigns Above

1 All praise to him who reigns above,
In majesty supreme,
Who gave Himself for man to die,
That He might man redeem.

Refrain:
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord;
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

2 His name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore. [Refrain]

3 Redeemer, Saviour, Friend of man,
Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation’s plan,
For Thou hast died for all. [Refrain]

4 His name shall be the Counsellor,
The mighty Prince of Peace,
Of all earth’s kingdoms conqueror,
Whose reign shall never cease. [Refrain]

5 The ransomed hosts to thee shall bring
Their praise and homage meet;
With rapturous awe adore their King,
And worship at his feet. [Refrain]

6 Then shall we know as we are known,
And in that world above
Forever sing around the throne
His everlasting love. [Refrain]
