Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:14 Refrain First Line: Bless the Lord Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to the Father, Creator and King,
whose mercy has taught us a new song to sing;
who made us, and loved us tho' rebels and lost,
and planned our redemption at infinite cost.
[Refrain:]
Bless the Lord, bless the Lord, bless the Lord, O my soul,
for the grace that redeems, for the love that makes whole;
O come and adore him, his glories proclaim,
and worship before him—-the Lord is his name!
2 Sing praise to the Savior, Redeemer, and Friend,
for grace past all telling, for love without end;
who stripped off his glory, put on mortal sin,
and died in our stead, full atonement to win. (Refrain)
3 Sing praise to the Spirit, the gift of God’s love,
who quickens our hearts with new life from above,
who woos us, subdues us, and seals us his own,
and faultless presents us before the White Throne. (Refrain)
4 Sing praise to the Father, sing praise to the Son,
sing praise to the Spirit, great God Three in One;
the God of salvation, of glory, of grace,
who wrought our redemption—-my soul, sing his praise! (Refrain)
