Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#118

118. Praise The Lord Through Every Nation

1 Praise the Lord thro' ev'ry nation,
His holy arm hath wrought salvation;
Exalt Him on His Father’s throne;
Praise your King, ye Christian legions,
Who now prepares in heav'nly regions
Unfailing mansions for His own:
With voice and minstrelsy,
Extol His majesty;
Hallelujah!
His praise shall sound
All nature round,
Where’er the race of man is found.

2 God with God dominion sharing,
And man with man our image bearing,
Gentiles and Jews to Him are giv'n;
Praise your Savior, ransom'd sinners,
Of life, through Him, immortal winners,
No longer heirs of earth, but heav'n;
O beatific sight,
To view His face in light!
Hallelujah!
And while we see,
Transformed to be
From bliss to bliss eternally!

3 Jesus, Lord, our captain glor'ous!
O’er sin and death and hell victor'ous;
Wisdom and might to Thee belong;
We confess, proclaim, adore Thee;
We bow the knee, we fall before Thee;
Thy love henceforth shall be our song;
The cross meanwhile we bear;
The crown ere long to wear;
Hallelujah!
Thy reign extend,
World without end
Let praise from all to Thee ascend.
