CPWI Hymnal ‎#379

379. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

1 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer!
Sing, O earth — his wonderful love proclaim!
Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory;
strength and honour give to his holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children,
in his arms he carries them all day long.

Refrain:
Praise him, praise him! Tell of his excellent greatness;
praise him, praise him ever in joyful song!

2 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer!
For our sins he suffered, and bled, and died;
he our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
hail him, hail him! Jesus the crucified!
Sound his praises — Jesus who bore our sorrows,
love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong. [Refrain]

3 Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer!
Heavenly portals, loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Saviour, reigneth for ever and ever:
crown him, crown him! Prophet, and Priest, and King!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious,
power and glory unto the Lord belong. [Refrain]
