Praise the Lord

PRAISE THE LORD. Give thanks to God who dwells in heaven above, Who manifests to all his tender love; My brothers, sisters, let us join in praise. And voice our gratitude in joyous lays. Sing praise to him who reaches out his hand To bless, in Christ, the meek in every land. Sing praise to him: he shields his faithful flock, And founds their faith on revelation's rock. Let still your praise in gladsome paeans rise To him who rules the earth and boundless skies, And with applauding songs let acts accrue As swift in praise, be strong in labor, too. Sing praise to him, and let your days be spent In thanks for all his gracious mercies, lent To cheer his children through the gloom and strife That leads to glory and eternal life. Niels F. G.een.
