Lyrics

Praise we bring to Thee, O Father!
Mighty un­cre­at­ed God;
Heav’n and hell and earth to­ge­ther,
Tremble at Thine aw­ful nod.

Refrain

Praise Him, praise Him,
Hallelujah, praise His name;
Praise Him, praise Him,
Hallelujah, praise His name.

Praise we bring to Thee, O Sav­ior!
Countless hosts of ran­somed souls,
Through the cross and by Thy fa­vor,
Swell the an­them as it rolls.

Refrain

Praise we bring to Thee, O Spir­it!
In Thy later Gos­pel days;
We who Thy rich grace in­her­it,
Join the new cre­ation’s praise.

Refrain

Praise to Thee, tri­une Je­ho­vah!
Equal, co-eter­nal Three;
Earth’s re­sound­ing hal­le­lu­jah
Rises ju­bi­lant to Thee.
