Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Praise God the Son who is the course;
Praise God the Spirit who’s the flow;
Praise God, our portion here below!
Re-translation of stanza 1:
1. Praise Father, whence all blessings spring;
Praise Son, redemption finishing;
Praise Spirit, working to apply& mdash;
Praise God with voices lifted high.
Formerly, God was outside of man and had nothing to do with man; there was a great distance between God and man. However, the Triune God desires to transmit Himself into us. In order for the Triune God to fulfill this desire, God the Father is the source, God the Son is the course, and God the Spirit is the flow (2 Cor. 13:14). This thought is expressed in the second stanza of a hymn in our hymnal: "Praise God the Father who's the source; / Praise God the Son who is the course; / Praise God the Spirit who's the flow; / Praise God, our portion here below!" (Hymns, #8). The Spirit is revealed as the flow of the Trinity in Revelation 22:1. This verse says that the river of water of life, a symbol of the Spirit, proceeds out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of the street (cf. John 7:37-39). This indicates that the Spirit as the river of water of life flows and that this river has not only a source from which it flows but also a course, a way in which the source flows. In Revelation 22:1 the Triune God, the Divine Being, is portrayed as living water in three aspects: the source, the course, and the flow. God the Father is the source of the river of water of life, God the Son is the course of this river, and God the Spirit is the flow of the river. In the New Jerusalem the river of water of life spirals down from the throne in the middle of the golden street to water the whole city. This is a picture of the transmission of the Triune God as living water into the believers. When the Spirit as the flow comes to reach us, the entire Triune God is transmitted into us.

I sit here this morning to begin my day, to be in the Word, but first to consciously give Him praise. This old, beautiful prayer of praise came back to me. It says it all. I am grateful. Amen

After this song and reading the comments from others on this platform I realized and noticed a great change in my life today and promised myself to include this song in my daily meditation, in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

On my way back from work on money on me thinking of what to prepare for my kids this evening and tomorrow for school then this song came to my mind. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Cause I know he will provide.
Every night this song runs through my mind when I cannot sleep - its Truth settles my soul and I slip into a restful sleep.
Today I was able to sing it in my mind during an MRI with all the extremely loud banging and clanging, etc - and I was so assured that I fell asleep 3 times in 25 mins! Praise God on high, praise Him, from Whom all good things come!!! đđŊđđđžđđŧđđģđđ¤˛đŊđ§đžââī¸đđŊđī¸
This Hymn has been running through my head and heart all morning! Seeking a Biblical, Christ-centered and Christ-filled church home in my new area. Please pray God plants me where He wants me, in the name of Jesus. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Amen,

I cried out to Jesus in a time of need and this song filled my heart and soul, I had not given it much thought over the years as I remember it to be the song played when the collection plate was passed in church. Now this song is a big part of my day . Jesus was there with me on the highway last night just as he was when I blew a flat tire on the Gardiner expressway many years ago.
It's time for me to to rise and get back to church where I belong.

I was reading a book title how to be led by the holy spirit by keneth Hagin and after reading the last chapter this song just came up in my spirit and I started singing it all through. This song is indeed another weapon for the year.
