164. Sing Praise

1 Sing praise! sing praise!
Join heart and voice in glad accord,
Song and story, tell the glory of our Lord!
Savior and Redeemer unto him we sing,
Hymns of praise we gladly raise for Christ our King.
Tender and kind, and quick to answer when his name we call,
Ever we find his loving arm outstretched to claim us all;
He will defend us, free us from sin;
Strength he will send us a crown of life to win.

Sing praise! sing praise!
Let music ring thro’ earth and sky,
Joy abound and anthems sound to God on high,
Lord of men and angels, all the world shall bring
Songs of praise thro’ endless days to Christ our King.

2 Sing praise! sing praise!
Let every voice take up the song,
Saints before us raised the chorus loud and long;
Like the courts of heaven, all the world shall ring;
Earth, proclaim the holy name of Christ our King.
Giver of light, a loving Shepherd who will guide our way,
Leading aright, with watchful care lest from his side we stray.
Angels adore him, anthems they raise,
Bowing before him thro’ everlasting days.

Sing praise! sing praise!
Let music ring thro’ earth and sky,
Joy abound and anthems sound to God on high,
Lord of men and angels, all the world shall bring
Songs of praise thro’ endless days to Christ our King.
Amen.
