Thank and Praise Jehovah's Name

Author: Montgomery Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thank and praise Jehovah's name; For his mercies, firm and sure, From eternity the same, To eternity endure. Let the ransomed thus rejoice, Gathered out of every land, As the people of his choice, Plucked from the destroyer's hand. 2 In the wilderness astray, Hither, thither, while they roam, Hungry, fainting by the way, Far from refuge, shelter, home,— Then unto the Lord, they cry; He inclines a gracious ear, Sends deliverance from on high, Rescues them from all their fear. 3 To a pleasant land he brings, Where the vine and olive grow, Where from flowery hills the springs Through luxuriant valleys flow. Oh, that men would praise the Lord For his goodness to their race; For the wonders of his word, And the riches of his grace. Used With Tune: [Thank and praise Jehovah's name]

Now is come the promised hour, Jesus reigns with sov’reign pow'r. Come, you nations, join and sing, To the throne your praises bring; Let it sound from shore to shore: "Jesus reigns forevermore." 2 Now the desert lands rejoice, And the islands join their voice; Yes, the whole creation sings, "Jesus is the King of kings." See the ransomed millions stand, Palms of conquest in their hands; This before the throne their strain: "Hell is vanquished, death is slain." 3 Blessing, honor, glory, might Are the Paschal Victim's right; Thrones and pow'rs in homage fall, To the Lamb and Lord of all, Time has nearly reached its sum; Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign forevermore. Topics: Second Coming Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Where, O grave, thy victory? 3 Faith now knows He is the Lord, Gives assent to His decree, Trusts the promise in His Word And is crowned with victory, Shouting praises to the King, Who from sin hath made us free,-- Where, O death, is now thy sting? Where, O grave, thy victory? Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter; Processionals and Recessionals Easter Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
