Text: | O Praise Ye the Lord |
Tune: | HANOVER |
Composer: | William Croft, 1678-1727 |
1 O praise ye the Lord,
And sing a new song,
Amid all His saints
His praises prolong;
The praise of their Maker
His people shall sing,
All children of Zion
Rejoice in their King.
2 With timbrel and harp
And joyful acclaim,
With gladness and mirth,
Sing praise to His Name;
For God in His people
His pleasure doth seek,
With robes of salvation
He clotheth the meek.
3 In glory exult,
Ye saints of the Lord;
With songs in the night
High praises accord;
Go forth in His service,
And strong in His might
To conquer all evil
And stand for the right.
4 For this is His word:
His saints shall not fail,
But over the earth
Their power shall prevail;
All kingdoms and nations
Shall yield to their sway.
To God give the glory
And praise Him for aye.
