16. Praise Jehovah

Refrain:
Praise Jehovah! Praise Jehovah!
Allelujah, Allelujah! Praise the Lord!

1 We are happy as we sing today
Praises to our Lord and King;
We will praise Him while on earth we stay
And to Him our tributes bring. [Refrain]

2 Joyfully our praises ring to earth,
For the mercies God has giv'n;
Everywhere we sing in joy and mirth
For life's fondest hopes of heav'n. [Refrain]

3 Praise and magnify the Lord today,
Let all hearts their praises lend;
He will lead us on the upward way
Until earthly life shall end. [Refrain]
