1 Hallelujah! raise, oh raise
To our God the song of praise;
All His servants join to sing
Loud the praises of our King.
2 Blessed be for evermore
That dread Name which we adore;
Round the world His praise be sung
Through all lands, in every tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heavens His throne;
Who is like to God Most High,
Infinite in majesty?
To our God the song of praise;
All His servants join to sing
Loud the praises of our King.
2 Blessed be for evermore
That dread Name which we adore;
Round the world His praise be sung
Through all lands, in every tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heavens His throne;
Who is like to God Most High,
Infinite in majesty?
4 Yet to view the earth He bends,
Yea, to earth He condescends;
Passing by the rich and great
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower,
Set the meanest high in power.
6 He the broken spirit cheers,
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonder of His ways:
Praise His name - for ever praise.
Yea, to earth He condescends;
Passing by the rich and great
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower,
Set the meanest high in power.
6 He the broken spirit cheers,
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonder of His ways:
Praise His name - for ever praise.
