1. Hallelujah, Praise Ye the Lord

1. Hallelujah, praise ye the Lord,
With harps and psaltery in accord,
Unto His name give glory!
Within His temple now unite
To bring Him worship meet and right,
And hear salvation’s story.
Praise Him,
Raise Him
Songs of union,
Blest communion,
To him singing,
And the New Song to Him bringing!

2. Praise Him, O heavenly company;
Praise Him, O earth and air and sea,
And all on earth now dwelling!
Praise Him, sun, moon, stars in the sky,
The glory of the Lord on high
To all creation telling!
He lives
And gives
Life and power
Every hour!
Joy and favor
Come from Him, our Lord and Savior!

3. Praise Him, all ye of Zion’s race!
Rejoice ye in His glorious grace
Within the congregation!
Take up your trumpets, loud proclaim
The glory of His Word and fame,
O praise ye His salvation!
His Word,
Where heard,
Is defying
Satan’s lying,
Bringing healing,
All the truth of Christ revealing.

4. His Spirit and His Word divine
Have caused eternal hope to shine,
The Morning Star now gloweth;
It shineth now in brightest light,
And Satan’s reign of darkest night
It fully overthroweth.
O Light,
Shine bright,
By Thy beaming
Grace is streaming
From the teaching
That is found in Jesus’ preaching.

5. And now the Spirit of the Lord
Strikes in our hearts the sweetest chord,
Makes music all-enchanting;
We’re happy as we live and love;
The Spirit, given from above,
To us His grace is granting:
Wondrous,
Glorious,
Sweet and cheering
To our hearing
Is the singing:
Brethren, rise, your praise be bringing.
