Praise God

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow...
Praise Him, all creatures here below...
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host...
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Written in 1674 by Thomas Ken

God is good...I have much to be thankful for. And so I sing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow"...a song I have been singing since I was a child. It was often sung at family gatherings as a table prayer...accapella...in four part harmony. It's a beautiful song of praise...for Thanksgiving and every day!

  1. We too sang this song often around our family dinner table. Down through the ages people have recognized Who the blessings come from and praise Him. What a privelage to continue passing the message on to the next generation. YES! Praise God. Kathy
