All Praise to Him Who Reigns Above

Lyrics

1. All praise to God who reigns above
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for all 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,
He's seated at God's own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore.

3. Redeemer, Savior, friend of all,
Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation's call,
For thou hast died for all.

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

About This Hymn

"All Praise to Him Who Reigns Above" is a hymn of worship and adoration penned by William H. Clark, an American hymn writer of the 19th century. The hymn focuses on glorifying God’s sovereign rule and eternal kingship, inviting believers to offer praise and worship to the Almighty King who reigns forever.

The text draws from biblical imagery of God’s majestic throne and omnipotent authority, especially reflected in Revelation 19:6, where the voices of angels and saints join in a mighty chorus of “Alleluia.” The hymn encourages worshippers to lift their voices in united praise, recognizing God’s power, holiness, and eternal dominion.

Musically, this hymn is often set to a stately and reverent tune suitable for congregational singing during services that emphasize God’s kingship, such as Advent, Christ the King Sunday, or general praise occasions.
