Alternate Tunes

| 1. O praise ye the Lord!
Praise Him in the height;
Rejoice in His word,
Ye angels of light;
Ye heavens adore Him
By whom ye were made,
And worship before Him
In brightness arrayed.
2. O praise ye the Lord!
Praise Him upon earth,
In tuneful accord,
Ye sons of new birth;
Praise Him who hath brought you
His grace from above,
Praise Him who hath taught you
To sing of His love.
3. O praise ye the Lord,
All things that give sound;
Each jubilant chord,
Re-echo around:
Loud organs, His glory
Forthtell in deep tone,
And sweet harp, the story
Of what He hath done.
4. O praise ye the Lord!
Thanksgiving and song
To Him be outpoured
All ages along;
For love in creation,
For heaven restored,
For grace of salvation,
O praise ye the Lord!
5. O praise ye the Lord
and sing a new song,
Amid all His saints
His praises prolong;
The praise of their Maker
His people shall sing,
And children of Zion
rejoice in their King.
6. With timbrel and harp
and joyful acclaim,
With gladness and mirth,
sing praise to His Name,
For God in His people
His pleasure doth seek,
With robes of salvation
He clotheth the meek.
7. In glory exult, ye saints of the Lord;
With songs in the night,
high praises accord;
Go forth in His service,
be strong in His might,
To conquer all evil
and stand for the right.
8. For this is His Word:
His saints shall not fail,
But over the earth
their power shall prevail;
All kingdoms and nations
shall yield to their sway.
To God give the glory
and praise Him for aye.
