1 Praise, oh! praise the great Jehovah,
Friend of sinners, true and tried;
Shout for joy, be glad before Him,
Le the Lord be magnified.

Refrain:
Shout for gladness,
Ye who love His righteous cause;
Magnify His name forever;
Honor all His holy laws.

2 Oh, how wide His boundless mercy,
Mightier still His tender love;
Say with all the hosts triumphant,
Magnify the Lord above. [Refrain]

3 While the sun shall shine for heaven,
Stars in circling orbits roll,
Let your notes of praise continue,
Echo wide from pole to pole. [Refrain]

4 Christ the King is our Redeemer,
Christ the light of yonder throne,
Glory, honor, might, and power,
Be to Him, and Him alone. [Refrain]
