Deuteronomy 32:3: "For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; ascribe greatness to our God!"
Psalm 96:1-8: "1 Oh sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! 2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
"7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! 8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!"
Ephesians 1:3-8: "3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight"
John 11:27-28: "27 She said to him, 'Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.'
"28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, 'The Teacher is here and is calling for you.'"

1 Sing praise to God, the highest good,The author of creation,The God of love who understoodOur need for His salvation.With healing balm our souls He fillsAnd 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 shadeHis eye is never sleeping.Within the kingdom of His mightAll 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 helplessnessAnd 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 proclaimAloud the wondrous story.Cast ev'ry idol from its throne,For God is God, and He alone:To God all praise and glory!

Deuteronomy 32:3 seems to appear in the recurring line "To God all praise and glory!" and the similar line "Give God the praise and glory" in the fifth verse.
Sections from the passage from Psalm 96 appear throughout the hymn: verses 1-2 in the line "Sing praise to God, the highest good" in the hymn's first verse, verses 4-5 in the lines "Cast ev'ry idol from its throne, / For God is God, and He alone" in the hymn's fifth verse, and part of verse 7 ("ascribe to the LORD glory and strength") overlaps with Deuteronomy 32:3 in the line "To God all praise and glory!"
In a general way, Ephesians 1:3-8 and John 11:27-28 seem to be the basis for the lines "The God of love who understood / Our need for His salvation. / With healing balm our souls He fills / And ev'ry faithless murmur stills" in the first verse, "Our Savior saw our helplessness / And came with peace to cheer us" in the third verse, and most of the fourth verse.

The lines "By morning glow or evening shade / His eye is never sleeping" seem to be drawn from Psalm 121:4: "Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."
