  • At Home in Your Hymnal Episode 42 - Hymns Every Lutheran Should Know - LSB 793- Praise the Almighty

    Pastor Poppe and Pastor Moline continue a series looking at the Hymns Every Lutheran Should Know.  Today we examine a popular hymn, LSB 797 "Praise the Almighty."  Is it a hymn that Every Lutheran Should Know, or is it less important than others in the hymnal?


    Lyrics:

    1 Praise the Almighty, my soul, adore Him!

    Yes, I will laud Him until death;
    With songs and anthems I come before Him
    As long as He allows me breath.
    From Him my life and all things came;
    Bless, O my soul, His holy name.
    Alleluia, alleluia!

    2 Trust not in rulers; they are but mortal;

    Earth-born they are and soon decay.
    Vain are their counsels at life's last portal,
    When the dark grave engulfs its prey.
    Since mortals can no help afford,
    Place all your trust in Christ, our Lord.
    Alleluia, alleluia!

    3 Blessed, oh, blessed are they forever

    Whose help is from the Lord Most High,
    Whom from salvation can nothing sever,
    And who in hope to Christ draw nigh.
    To all who trust in Him, our Lord
    Will aid and counsel now afford.
    Alleluia, alleluia!

    4 Penitent sinners, for mercy crying,

    Pardon and peace from Him obtain;
    Ever the wants of the poor supplying,
    Their faithful God He will remain.
    He helps His children in distress,
    The widows and the fatherless.
    Alleluia, alleluia!

    5 Praise, all you people, the name so holy

    Of Him who does such wondrous things!
    All that has being, to praise Him solely,
    With happy heart its amen sings.
    Children of God, with angel host
    Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
    Alleluia, alleluia!

  • At Home in Your Hymnal Episode 41 - Hymns Every Lutheran Should Know - LSB 819 - Sing Praise to God the Highest Good

    Pastor Poppe and Pastor Moline continue a series looking at the Hymns Every Lutheran Should Know.  Today we examine one that Pastor Poppe has always liked, LSB 819 - Sing Praise to God the Highest Good.  Is it a hymn that Every Lutheran Should Know, or is it less important than others in the hymnal?

    Today we take a look at a hymn that is popular, and discover that is somewhat weak and generic in its theology.  Written by Johann Jacob Schutz, a friend and companion of the founder of the Pietist movement of Lutheranism in the 17th century, Philipp Jakob Spener.  Pietism influenced many who came after it, including John Wesley and Methodism.  

    This hymn focuses on our action of praising God, and mentions little about God's work of saving us through the person and work of Jesus Christ.  Listen to Pastor Poppe and Moline objectively examine this hymn and find out how to use it properly in worship.  

    Lyrics:

    1 Sing praise to God, the highest good,

    The author of creation.
    The God of love who understood
    Our need for His salvation.
    With healing balm our souls He fills
    And ev'ry faithless murmur stills:
    To God all praise and glory!

    2 What God’s almighty pow'r has made,

    In mercy He is keeping.
    By morning glow or evening shade
    His eye is never sleeping.
    Within the kingdom of His might
    All things are just and good and right:
    To God all praise and glory!

    3 We sought the Lord in our distress;

    O God, in mercy hear us.
    Our Savior saw our helplessness
    And came with peace to cheer us.
    For this we thank and praise the Lord,
    Who is by one and all adored:
    To God all praise and glory!

    4 He never shall forsake His flock,

    His chosen generation;
    He is their refuge and their rock,
    Their peace and their salvation.
    As with a mother's tender hand,
    He leads His own, His chosen band:
    To God all praise and glory!

    5 All who confess Christ’s holy name,

    Give God the praise and glory.
    Let all who know His pow'r proclaim
    Aloud the wondrous story.
    Cast ev'ry idol from its throne,
    For God is God, and He alone:
    To God all praise and glory!
