1. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!
Children of God’s gracious choice;
Let his praises rise as thunder,
Let the whole earth hear his voice;
Till the song of his salvation
Makes his broken world rejoice!
2. Man’s imprisoning night is shattered
At the impact of his Word;
Light and life spring forth eternal
Where that mighty voice is heard;
Let the powers of death and darkness
Own the triumph of their Lord!
3. Praise the Lord until his glory
Floods the farthest realms of earth,
Till from every tribe and nation
Souls rise up in glad rebirth;
Haste the day of his appearing
When all creatures own his worth.
4. Praise the Lord, sing hallelujah!
Sound his sovereign grace abroad,
Till His Word is loved and honoured
Everywhere man’s feet have trod;
Till his ransomed family gathers
Safely round the throne of God!
