1 Praise the Saviour, O ye people!
Praise and bless his holy name!
Praise and worship him; children, worship him,
For a child from heav'n he came;
Praise him from the hills and mountains,
From the vales and cities all;
Hail him king of earth and heaven,
Who was once a child so small;
Hail him king of earth and heaven,
Who was once a child so small.

Chorus:
Praise him in the sanctuary;
Let the children swell the strain,
And the morn, and noon and even,
Echo still the sweet refrain;
And at morn, and noon and even,
Echo still the sweet refrain.

2 Praise him for his mighty actions;
Praise him for his tenderness,
When he lovingly held the little ones in his arms to save and bless;
Praise him, all ye wise and noble,
Men and maidens, old and young;
Let redeeming love and mercy
Be the theme of ev'ry tongue;
Let redeeming love and mercy
Be the theme of ev'ry tongue. [Chorus]
