Author: E. R. Latta Hymnal: Joyful Sound #102 (1889) Lyrics: 1 Oh, praise his name forever! The wondrous story tell, He laid aside his glory In human form to dwell; Upon the world’s redemption The angels gaze in vain, But to repentant sinners The Spirit makes it plain. Refrain: Oh, praise his name forever, Praise his holy name; His goodness faileth never, Praise his holy name. 2 Oh, praise his name forever! His life and death behold! Of all his love and pity How little can be told! Oh, sinner, will you own him, That he may ransom thee? Or will you still deny him, And lost forever be? [Refrain] 3 Oh, praise his name forever! My glad, triumphant soul, By him set free from bondage, By him from sin made whole; When I have earth forsaken, And gained the further shore, I’ll tell the story better, I’ll praise him evermore. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, praise his name forever]
