Representative Text

1 The valleys and the mountains,
The woodland and the plain,
The rivers and the fountains,
The sunshine and the rain,
The stars that shine above us,
The flowers that deck the sod,
Proclaim aloud the glory of my God.

Chorus:
Praises, holy adoration,
Praises to the God above,
Praises thro' the wide creation,
Sound aloud his greatness and his love.

2 And shall the voice of nature
Thus glorify its King,
And man, the noble creature,
No grateful tribute bring.
Shall mercy strew his pathway,
And all the senses please,
And man withhold the sacrifice of praise.

Chorus:
Praise him ye that live forever,
Praise him ev'ry heart and voice;
Praise him, he's the glorious giver,
Praise him in your sorrows and your joys.

3 The word of life he gave us,
To guide us to the sky,
That he might justly save us,
He sent his Son to die.
To die in shame and anguish,
To die a sacrifice,
To save us from the death that never dies.

Chorus:
Praise him, praise him for salvation,
Praise him, praise him for his Son;
Praise him every tribe and nation,
Praise him for the battle he has won.

4 Then train your youthful voices
To hymn his praise above,
For he who here rejoices
In Jesus' dying love,
Around his throne in glory,
Shall all his love proclaim,
And sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

Chorus:
Praise him, praise the eternal Father.
Praise him, praise the eternal Son;
Praise him, praise the Three together,
Father, Son and Spirit, Three in one.
