Grateful Praise

Representative Text

1 Unto ev’ry land and nation,
Unto all the wide creation,
Send the hymn of adoration,
Happy song of grateful praise.

Refrain:
Then praise Him, praise Him,
Glory be to God on high!
Then praise Him, praise Him,
Sound His name in earth and sky;
Yes, praise Him, praise Him,
Sing until the whole world rings;
O praise Him, praise Him,
Christ the Lord, the King of kings.

2 Let a world by sorrow blighted,
Look to skies with glory lighted;
Let all people, thus united,
Raise a song of grateful praise. [Refrain]

3 Set the joyous chorus pealing,
Send the farthest echoes stealing,
His redeeming grace revealing,
In a song of grateful praise. [Refrain]
