The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#224

224. O praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord

1 O praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord:
O praise His name; His lordly honour sing:
let us adore; to You glad homage bring;
honouring You, our God to be adored
for Your great glory, Sovereign, Lord and King.

2 Father of Christ — of Him whose work was done,
when by His death He took our sins away —
to You belongs all worship, day by day,
yea, Holy Father, everlasting Son,
and Spirit blest, all praise be Yours for aye!

Amen.
