In hymns of praise your voic­es raise
To Him who reigns on high;
Whose coun­sels keep the migh­ty deep,
Who rul­eth earth and sky.

Refrain

Exalt His name in loud ac­claim!
His migh­ty power ad­ore!
And hum­bly bow be­fore Him now,
Our king for­ev­er­more.

Beneath His hand, at His com­mand,
The shin­ing pla­nets move;
To all below they dai­ly show
His wis­dom and His love.

Refrain

The lit­tle flow­er that lasts an hour,
The spar­row in its fall;
They, too, shall share His ten­der care,
He made and loves them all.

Refrain

Then sing again in lof­ty strain
To Him who dwells on high;
To pray­ers you raise, and songs of praise,
He sweet­ly will re­ply.
