Voice of Praise

Ralph Wardlaw (1800) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 66

Verse 1

Lift up to God the voice of praise, Whose breath our souls inspired; Loud and more loud the anthem raise, With grateful ardor fired.

Verse 2

Lift up to God the voice of praise, Whose goodness, passing thought, Loads every minute, as it flies, With benefits unsought.

Verse 3

Lift up to God the voice of praise, From whom salvation flows, Who sent his Son our souls to save From everlasting woes.

Verse 4

Lift up to God the voice of praise, For hope's transporting ray, Which lights, through darkest shades of death, To realms of endless day.
