Representative Text

1 Praises everywhere sweetly sound,
Joy victorious here is found,
Raise the melody, let it ring,
Worship the Heav'nly King.

Refrain:
Praises, everywhere we are singing,
Sweet notes ringing, gladness bringing,
Songs from loving hearts ever springing,
Praises to our Lord and King.

2 Praises everywhere, let use raise,
Songs of gratitude, all our days,
O'er the universe, banners fling,
Standards of Christ the King. [Refrain]

3 Praises everywhere, He shall hear,
Christ the conqueror we'll revere,
Love Him, honor Him, gladly sing,
Praise to the children's King. [Refrain]
