Lyrics

Blessèd Lord, our hal­le­lu­jahs
Now to Thee we raise;
Never could we ful­ly ut­ter
All Thy worth and praise!

Refrain

Praise the Lamb, for He is wor­thy!
Sweet eter­nal strain.
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
Praise the Lord! Amen.

Praise the Lamb! Yes, Thou art wor­thy,
Who didst shed Thy blood,
To re­deem Thy saints, and make us
Kings and priests to God!

Refrain

Yes! we praise thee, for Thou lov’st us;
And we bless Thee, Lord,
For Thy cease­less in­ter­ces­sion,
And Thy pre­cious Word.

Refrain

Hallelujah, Thou, Lord Je­sus,
Canst not cease to love;
Thine we are, and Thine for­ev­er,
One with Thee above.

Refrain

Praise the Lord! Yes, hal­le­lu­jah!
Who could hush the song?
Join with saints from ev­ery na­tion,
Every tribe and tongue.
