The Church Hymnal ‎#294

294. Praise the Lord thro' every nation

1 Praise the Lord thro' every 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:
Alleluia!
His praise shall sound all nature round,
Where'er the race of man is found.

2 God with man dominion sharing,
And man with God our image bearing,
Gentile and Jew to Him are given:
Praise your Saviour, ransomed sinners,
Of life, through Him, immortal winners:
No longer heirs of earth, but heaven.
O beatific sight
To view His face in light!
Alleluia!
And while we see, transformed to be
From bliss to bliss eternally.

3 Jesus, Lord, our Captain glorious,
O'er sin, and death, and hell victorious,
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:
Alleluia!
Thy reign extend world without end,
Let praise from all to Thee ascend.
