Williston Hymns ‎#160

160. 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 ev’ry time,
Ev’ry nation, tongue and clime,
Gather round their loving Lord,
More than conqu’rors thro’ His word. [Refrain]

3 They who on the field of life
Overcome 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 vale,
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]
