Praise

Representative Text

1 Oh, God, before Thy matchless throne
We bow in sacred awe;
Anoint us in Thy name O Lord,
On us Thy Spirit pour.

Refrain:
Praise ye the Lord ye saints of God,
Your hallelujahs bring,
For greater is our song by far
Than all the angels sing.

2 The cherubim and seraphim,
Lest they behold the sight
Cover their faces with their wings
Before the blazing light. [Refrain]

3 And millions in celestial choirs
Sing joyful songs of praise
To Him who sits upon the throne,
The Great Ancient of Days. [Refrain]
