172. Sing Praises unto God on High

1 Sing praises unto God on high,
To Him Who us created;
Sing praises to the Lord, so nigh
To sinful man related.
Rejoicing, Hallelujah sing!
Jehovah Jesus is our King
And gracious Mediator.

2 He calls us brethren, not ashamed
To bear our human nature;
Yea, heirs of life we now are named,
Joint-heirs with our Creator.
He ever lives our cause to plead,
Grants help in every time of need;
Praise to His Nam for ever!
