Praise Ye the Lord
O praise the Lord, ye ransomed host!
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!
To all the earth proclaim the wonders of his fame:
Let all creation, every nation,
swell the music of his name.
O praise the blessed Lord of love
for mercies sent us from above!
O let the tidings sound to all the world around!
Let shouts of glory tell the story
Of his grace that doth abound.
O praise the blessed Lord for aye,
Thro' this short life and endless day!
Like mighty thunders' roll it sounds from pole to pole
Let angels singing keep it ringing
He doth fully save the soul.
O praise the blessed Lord on high,
who rules in all the earth and sky!
His majesty adore, and laud him o'er and o'er
:
Let none betray him, all obey him,
he is Lord forevermore.
Praise ye the Lord of hosts!
Praise ye the Lord of hosts forevermore!
Let heven and earth his matchless name adore.
