Representative Text

1 We'll praise the Lord,
And join our happy voices,
In sweet accord,
While ev'ry heart rejoices,
We'll praise the Lord,
We'll praise the Lord.

2 We'll sing his praise,
Who gave to us a Saviour,
Our anthems raise,
For such a wondrous favor,
We'll sing his praise,
We'll sing, etc.

3 For evermore
We'll tell the blessed story,
And still adore
The Lord of Life and glory,
For evermore, for evermore.
For evermore, etc.
