Let the Lord be praised, O Zion!
Magnify His holy name.
In triumphant adoration,
Far and near His praise proclaim.
Refrain
Prince of Peace, o’er death victorious,
Countless hosts their voices raise,
Hear the cry from the walls of Zion,
Let the Lord be praised.
Shout aloud, ye hosts victorious,
Conquerors in His worthy cause,
Spare ye not the homage due Him,
Look not for the world’s applause.
Refrain
Praise Him, all creation, praise Him,
Heav’n and earth unite and sing
Praises to this mighty Ruler,
Whom the angels crowned their king.
