Overall Meaning

The Doxology is a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to God, traditionally sung in Christian churches at the conclusion of a service. The lyrics of this song by Tommy Walker are a modern version of the traditional English language hymn, "Old 100th," which dates back to the 16th century. The first line of the song, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," is a reference to James 1:17, which states, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." The song is a reminder of God's grace and mercy, and encourages listeners to offer praise and thanksgiving to Him.


The second verse emphasizes the unity of the Godhead, with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost being praised together as one. The repetition of the phrase "Praise Him" throughout the song is an upbeat and energetic call to worship, and the lyrics encourage all creatures, both on earth and in heaven, to offer praise to God. The song ends with a reminder that all blessings come from God, and a final call to offer Him praise.
