Lyrics

O praise the Lord, ye nations all,
Whose eye beholds the sparrow’s fall;
At morn and night His deeds recall,
Who reigneth ev­er­more.

Refrain

O praise the Lord, our mighty king;
Let mortal tongues their tribute bring,
While Heav’n and earth His glo­ry sing,
Who reigns ev­er­more.

He crowns each day with blessings new,
His gifts descend like early dew;
His ways are just, His statutes true,
Who reigneth ev­er­more.

Refrain

We would His goodness gladly own,
And bow with reverence at His throne,
To worship Him, our God alone,
Who reigneth ev­er­more.
