Text:I will extol you, Lord on high
Author:Isaac Watts
Tune:LOVELACE 101
Composer:Austin C. Lovelace

13. I will extol you, Lord on high

I will extrol you, Lord on high;
at your command diseases fly!
Who but our God can speak, and save
from darkening shadows of the grave?

Sing to the Lord, with fears dismissed,
and tell how great God's goodness is!
Let all your powers rejoice and bless,
while you record God’s holiness.

Though grief and tears the night employ,
the Morning Star restores our joy.
God's praise shall sound through earth and heaven
for sickness healed and sin forgiven.
