The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16343

16343. Praise His Name

1 From the tow’r­ing hills that rise
Far be­yond the glow­ing skies,
Hark! the ev­er­last­ing song
Like an ocean rolls along.

Refrain:
Day and night they shout and sing,
Praise the Lord, our migh­ty king!
Tell His won­drous love with loud ac­claim,
Hallelujah! praise His name!

2 There the saints of ev­ery time,
Every na­tion, tongue and clime,
Gather round their lov­ing Lord,
More than con­querors thro’ His word. [Refrain]

3 They who on the field of life
Overcame thro’ toil and strife,
By the tran­quil stream that flows,
Rest in peace and calm re­pose. [Refrain]

4 Thro’ the fur­nace they who passed,
Tried as gold and pure at last,
Anchored now with­in the veil,
Sing of faith that can­not fail. [Refrain]

5 When our march of life is o’er,
When we wake to sleep no more,
May we join that bliss­ful throng,
There to learn their ho­ly song. [Refrain]
