58. Praise the Lord, Break forth in Song

1 Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, break forth in song;
Let every creature sing
Unto Him who is now before the throne,
Our royal Priest and King.

Refrain:
Shout, shout aloud, O come ye before Him;
Shout, shout aloud, exalt and adore Him;
Strike, strike your harps, ye saints, and cry,
Glory to God, to God on high.

2 Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, whose conquering arm
Shall sin and death o’erthrow
From the isles of the sea His voice shall sound,
And all His truth shall know. [Refrain]

3 Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, His name repeat
With humble, grateful love,
While our heats and our tongues take up the strain
Of ransomed ones above. [Refrain]
