Praise the Lord, His Glories Show

373 Praise the Lord, His Glories Show

1 Praise the Lord; His glories show, Alleluia,
   Saints within His courts below, Alleluia,
   Angels round His throne above, Alleluia,
   Praise Him, all who share His love, Alleluia.

2 Earth, to heav’n exalt the strain, Alleluia,
   Send it, Heav’n, to earth again; Alleluia,
   Age to age, and shore to shore, Alleluia,
   Praise Him, praise Him evermore, Alleluia.

3 Praise the Lord; His goodness trace; Alleluia,
   All the wonders of His grace; Alleluia,
   All that He hath borne and done, Alleluia,
   All He sends us thro’ His Son, Alleluia.

Hymnary.org adds a final verse:

4 Strings and voices, hands and hearts, Alleluia,
   In the concert bear your parts; Alleluia,
   All that breathe, your Lord adore, Alleluia,
   Praise Him, praise Him evermore, Alleluia.
