Praise Him who will with glory crown the lowly, And with salvation beautify the meek.
2 Praise ye Jehovah! for His loving-kindness And all the tender mercy He hath shown; Who pardons sin, and cures the spirit's blindness, Who calls us sons, and seals us for His own. 3 Praise ye Jehovah! source of every blessing, Before whose gifts earth's richest boons are dim; He gave His Son, and life in Him possessing, All things are ours, for we have all in Him.
4 Praise ye Jehovah ! who so freely gave us His gift unspeakable, His only Son; [us; Praise ye the Lamb! who gave Himself to save And sends the unction from the Holy One.
PRAISE ye the Lord, immortal quire, In heavenly heights above,
With harp, and voice, and souls of fire Burning with perfect love,
2 Shine to His glory, worlds of light! Ye million suns of space,
Fair moons and glittering stars of night, Running your mystic race.
3 Ye gorgeous clouds that deck the sky With crystal, crimson, gold;
And rainbow arches raised on high The Light of Light unfold.
4 Storm, lightning, thunder, hail and snow, Wild winds that keep His word, With the old mountains far below Unite to bless the Lord.
5 His Name, ye forests, wave along; Whisper it, every flower;
Birds, beasts and insects, swell the song That tells His love and power.
6 And round the wide world let it roll, Whilst man shall lead it on; Join, every ransomed human soul, In glorious unison!
7 Come, aged man! come, little child! Youth, maiden, peasant, king, To God in Jesus reconciled, Your hallelujahs bring.
8 The all-creating Deity!
Maker of earth and heaven! The great Redeeming Majesty, To Him the praise be given!
OUND the Lord, in glory seated, Cherubim and Seraphim
Filled His temple, and repeated Each to each the alternate hymn: "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven; Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!
2 Heaven is still with glory ringing, Earth takes up the angels' cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy," singing,
"Lord of hosts, the Lord most high."
Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!"
3 With His seraph train before Him, With His holy church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow: "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given,
ING praise to God Who reigns above, The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation; With healing balm my soul He fills, And every faithless murmur stills; To God all praise and glory!
2 What God's almighty power hath made His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; · Within the kingdom of His might Lo! all is just, and all is right; To God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
But, through all grief distressing, An ever-present help and stay, Our. peace, and joy, and blessing; As with a mother's tender hand, He leads His own, His chosen band; To God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my toilsome way along I sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises : Be joyful in the Lord, my heart, Both soul and body bear your part; To God all praise and glory!
J. J. SCHÜTZ, trans. F. E. COX.
ING to the Lord a joyful song,
Lift up your hearts, your voices raise, To us His gracious gifts belong,
To Him our songs of love and praise,
2 For life and love, for rest and food, For daily help and nightly care, Sing to the Lord, for He is good,
And praise His Name, for It is fair.
3 For strength to those who on Him wait, His truth to prove, His will to do; Praise ye our God, for He is great, Trust in His Name, for It is true.
4 For joys untold that daily move
Round those who love His sweet employ, Sing to our God, for He is love, Exalt His Name, for It is joy.
5 For life below, with all its bliss,
And for that life, more pure and high, That inner life which over this
Shall ever shine, and never die ;
6 Sing to the Lord of heaven and earth, Whom angels serve and saints adore, The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To Whom be praise for evermore.
ONGS of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun; When He spake, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away: Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens and earth: Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
5 Saints below with heart and voice Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above.
6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death: Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
STAND up and bless the Lord,
Ye people of His choice;
Stand up and bless the Lord your God, With heart and soul and voice.
