Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord

Frederick W. Foster • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 4:6

Verse 1

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord! He with you deals bounteously. Highly favored church of Jesus, he chose you through mercy free to show forth his matchless praises and rich fruit, blessed for the Master's use, to produce, to produce.

Verse 2

Gracious Lord, gracious Lord, blessed is our lot indeed in your ransomed congregation; here we on your merits feed, and the well-springs of salvation, all the needy to revive and cheer, stream forth here, forth here.

Verse 3

We entreat, we entreat, Lord, lift up your countenance on your ransomed congregations; grace to ev'ry soul dispense. May we in our situations daily in your great salvation share. Hear our prayer, hear our prayer.
