1 O hallelujah, sing God’s praise! Your harps and voices to Him raise, His holy name exalting! Draw near unto His holiness His might and power to confess, Sing praises without halting! Love Him, praise Him all ye nations, Congregations, Honor bringing, Joyfully the new song singing. 2 Praise Him, the heaven’s mighty host; Earth, air, and sea His love shall boast, All who this earth inhabit! Sun, moon, and stars, Yea, ev’ry soul The glory of the Lord extol, Whose throne is high in heaven! He loves; He gives all creation Animation. Light and gladness Come from Him, the Sun of greatness. 3 O Zion’s children, lift your voice In glory and in grace rejoice, Praise Him in congregation! Let your thanksgiving songs abound; Proclaim His Word with trumpet sound In highest exultation! His Word goes forth in its glory; Gospel’s story, Truth will flourish; And the lies of Satan perish. 4 Hallelujah! Thy Spirit, Lord, Reveals itself in Thy good Word; The morning star has risen, In brightest splendor now it shines; And Satan’s base and dark designs Shall soon be cast in prison. God’s Light shines bright in our spirit; We inherit grace and glory In His sacred sanctuary. 5 And now the Spirit of the Lord Strikes in our hearts the sweetest chord, Makes music all-enchanting; We’re happy as we live and love; The Spirit, given from above, To us His grace is granting. Wondrous, glorious, sweet and cheering To our hearing is the singing. Brethren, rise; your praise be bringing!
