O Praise Ye the Name of Jehovah

O praise ye the name of Je­ho­vah

Proclaim ye His glo­ry abroad;

O praise Him

ye serv­ants ap­point­ed

To stand in the house of our God.

O praise ye the Lord for His good­ness;

’Tis plea­sant His prais­es to sing;

His peo­ple

His chos­en and pre­cious

Your praise­s with gra­ti­tude bring.

I know that the Lord is al­migh­ty

Supreme in do­min­ion is He

Performing His will and good plea­sure

In Heav­en and in earth and the sea.

His hand guides the clouds in their cours­es

The light­ning flames forth at His will

The wind and the rain He re­leas­es

His sov­er­eign de­signs to ful­fill.

To ran­som His peo­ple from bond­age

Great wond­ers and signs He dis­played;

He smote all the first-born of Egypt

Till Pha­raoh made haste and ob­eyed.

Great na­tions and kings that op­posed Him

Were smit­ten by God’s migh­ty hand;

Their rich­es He gave to His peo­ple

And made them in­her­it the land.

Thy name shall abide

O Je­ho­vah

Through all ge­ne­ra­tions re­nowned;

The Lord is the judge of His peo­ple

His mer­cies for­ev­er ab­ound.

Men’s id­ols of gold and of sil­ver

Can speak not

nor hear­ken

nor see;

Like them shall their mak­ers be help­less

Unblest shall their wor­ship­ers be.

Ye people who wor­ship Je­ho­vah

His prais­es with glad­ness pro­claim;

His serv­ants

and all ye that fear Him

Sing praise to His glo­ri­ous name.

O Church of our God

sing His prais­es

For with you and in you He dwells;

O sing hal­le­lu­jahs be­fore Him

Whose glo­ry all prais­es ex­cels.
