Praise to the Lord…King of Creation .

Here are today’s worship treasures, old and new:

“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation” (Joachim Neander 1680, originally published in German). [“John Julian, in A Dictionary of Hymnolgy, calls the German original ‘a magnificent hymn of praise to God.”*]

Here’s a recent song called “Creator” by Phil Wickham to enjoy. You need to watch this one, not just listen. Below is also the version with lyrics,, but I really wanted to share the visual, too.

“2Worship Yahweh with gladness. Sing your way into his presence with joy! 3And realize what this really means— we have the privilege of worshiping Yahweh our God. For he is our Creator and we belong to him. We are the people of his pleasure.a 4You can pass through his open gatesb with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name! 5For Yahweh is always good and ready to receive you. He’s so loving that it will amaze you— so kind that it will astound you! And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all.” —Psalm 100: 2-5 TPT

In the King James’ Version:

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
