Lyrics

Praise to God our heav’nly Fa­ther,
Praise to Christ th’eter­nal Son,
Praise be to the Ho­ly Spir­it,
Great Je­ho­vah, three in One.

Refrain

Praises, prais­es, cease­less prais­es,
Waft the an­them to the throne
In a grand, tri­um­phant chor­us
For the work which He has done.

Praise Him for His grand re­demp­tion,
Praise Him for His love and power,
Praise Him for His kind pro­tect­ion
Thrown around us to this hour.

Refrain

Let our grate­ful hearts adore Him,
Till we reach the heav’n­ly shore;
Then in one long hal­le­lu­jah
Praise His name for ev­er­more.
