The Helper in Sacred Song ‎#161

161. Hymn of Praise

1 Extol Jehovah’s name!
Come, sound abroad His fame,
His matchless worth!
Tis meet that we should sing,
Our grateful off’ring bring,
For He alone is King
O’er all the earth!

2 By His all-wise decree
The earth and sky and sea
With all their throng
Exits; they must fulfill
The workings of His will,
How infinite His skill,
Praise Him in song!

3 For aye He keepeth truth,
Praise Him, both age and youth
In sweet accord;
The heaven of heavens His throne;
His wisdom, who hath known?
Spreading from zone to zone:
Great is the Lord!

4 A Father’s loving care
His needy children share,
His love, how broad!
And all who seek the Right,
He makes His chief delight;
Sing of His sovereign might:
Praise ye the Lord!
