Pearls of Praise ‎#111

111. Praise Ye the Lord

1 Swell the anthem, raise the song;
Praises to our God belong.
Saints and angels join to sing
Praises to the heav’nly King.

Refrain:
Praise ye the Lord, praise ye the Lord,
Let all the people sing;
Praise ye the Lord, praise ye the Lord,
Glory to God our King.

2 Blessings from His lib’ral hand
Flow around this happy land.
Kept by Him, no foes annoy;
Peace and freedom we enjoy. [Refrain]

3 Here, beneath a peaceful sway,
May we cheerfully obey,
Never feel oppression’s rod,
Ever own and worship God. [Refrain]

4 Hark! the voice of nature sings
Praises to the King of kings.
Let us join the choral song
And the grateful notes prolong. [Refrain]
