Lyrics: Refrain: We praise Thee, we bless Thee! Thou, who only art divine; No name is worthy such homage as Thine; Our hearted adoration forever we will gladly bring To Thee, our Redeemer, Creator, and King. 1 To meet the glad echoes our voices we raise, And join with our souls in the anthem of praise; We praise Thee, we bless Thee! Thou, who only art divine, For no name is worthy such homage as Thine. With angels in glory, We herald the story, Glad tidings of joy and peace Through our Saviour and King. [Refrain] 2 For mercies unnumbered, for tenderest care, For blessings Thy children so bounteously share; We praise Thee, we bless Thee! Thou, who only art divine, For no name is worthy such homage as Thine. Now joyfully blending, With rapture ascending, Our tribute of praise to Thee, Blessed Saviour and King. [Refrain] 3 For all the sweet promises faithfully giv’n, For all the bright hopes that look forward to heaven: We praise Thee, we bless Thee! Thou, who only art divine, For no name is worthy such homage as Thine. Our hearts warmly glowing, With melody flowing, All glory and praise to Thee, Blessed Saviour and King. [Refrain] 4 Our voices in chorus exultingly rise, To join with the angel whose songs fill the skies: We praise Thee, we bless Thee! Thou, who only art divine, For no name is worthy such homage as Thine. Y angels in glory, Still herald the story, Sing praises forevermore To our Saviour and King. [Refrain] Coda: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, amen, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, amen, Hallelujah, amen, amen. Tune Title: [To meet the glad echoes our voices we raise]
