Author: R. Feith Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #364 (1913) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord through every nation,
His holy arm hath wrought salvation;
Exalt Him on His Father’s throne;
Praise your King, ye Christian legions,
Who now prepares in heavenly regions
Unfailing mansions for His own;
With voice and minstrelsy
Extol His majesty;
Hallelujah!
His praise shall sound all nature round,
Where’er the race of man is found.
2 God with God dominion sharing,
And man with man our image bearing,
Gentiles and Jews to Him are given;
Praise your Savior, ransomed sinners,
Of life, through Him, immortal winners,
No longer heirs of earth, but heaven;
O beatific sight
To view His face in light!
Hallelujah!
And while we see, transformed to be
From bliss to bliss eternally!
3 Jesus, Lord, our captain glorious!
O’er sin and death and hell victorious;
Wisdom and might to Thee belong:
We confess, proclaim, adore Thee;
We bow the knee, we fall before Thee;
Thy love henceforth shall be our song:
The cross meanwhile we bear;
The crown ere long to wear;
Hallelujah!
Thy reign extend, world without end,
Let praise from all to Thee ascend. Topics: The Church Year Ascension; The Church Year Ascension; Praise and Prayer Tune Title: [Praise the Lord through every nation]
