Sung during the Sunday worship at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London (Spurgeon’s).
Hymn 150 (based on Psalm 150) from our hymn book, Psalms & Hymns of Reformed Worship.
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.
O praise ye the Lord!
Praise Him upon earth,
In tuneful accord,
Ye sons of new birth;
Praise Him Who has brought you
His grace from above;
Praise Him Who has taught you
To sing of His love.
O praise ye the Lord!
His mighty acts sound;
Let triumphant chord
Re-echo around;
His power and His glory
Forth tell in deep tone,
And sweet voice the story
Of what He has done.
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!
