Lyrics

Praise the Lord, His glo­ries show, Al­le­lu­ia!
Saints with­in His courts be­low, Al­le­lu­ia!
Angels round the throne above, Al­le­lu­ia!
Praise Him, all that share His love, Al­le­lu­ia!

Earth, to Hea­ven ex­alt the strain, Al­le­lu­ia!
Send it, Hea­ven, to earth again, Al­le­lu­ia!
Age to age, and shore to shore, Al­le­lu­ia!
Praise Him, praise Him ev­er­more! Al­le­lu­ia!

Praise the Lord; His good­ness trace, Al­le­lu­ia!
All the won­ders of His grace, Al­le­lu­ia!
All that He hath borne and done, Al­le­lu­ia!
All He sends us through His Son. Al­le­lu­ia!

Strings and voic­es, hands and hearts, Al­le­lu­ia!
In the con­cert bear your parts, Al­le­lu­ia!
All that breathe, your Lord adore, Al­le­lu­ia!
Praise Him, praise Him ev­er­more!
