O praise the Lord with hymns of joy, And celebrate his fame (Tate and Brady)

Verse 1

O praise the lord, with hymns of joy, And celebrate his fame! For pleasant, good, and comely 'tis, To praise his holy Name.

Verse 2

He kindly heals the broken hearts, And all the wounds does close, Of them that on his boundless grace, With stedfast hope repose.

Verse 3

Great is the Lord, and great his pow'r, His wisdom has no bound; The meek he raises, and throws down The wicked to the ground.

Verse 4

To God, the Lord, a hymn of praise with grateful voices sing; To songs of triumph tune the harp, And strike each warbling string.
