Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: O praise ye the Name of Jehovah Lyrics: 1 O praise ye the name of Jehovah,
Proclaim ye His glory abroad;
O praise Him, ye servants appointed
To stand in the house of our God.
2 O praise ye the Lord for His goodness;
'Tis pleasant His praises to sing;
His people, His chosen and precious,
Your praises with gratitude bring.
3 I know that the Lord is almighty,
Supreme is dominion is He,
Performing His will and good pleasure
In heav'n and in earth and the sea.
4 His hand guides the clouds in their courses,
The lightning flames forth at His will,
The wind and the rain he releases
His sov'reign designs to fulfill.
5 To ransom His people from bondage
Great wonders and signs He displayed;
He smote all the firstborn of Egypt,
Till Pharaoh made haste and obeyed.
6 Great nations and kings that opposed Him
Were smitten by God's mighty hand;
Their riches He gave to His people,
And made them inherit the land.
7 Thy Name shall abide, O Jehovah,
Through all generations renowned;
The Lord is the judge of His people,
His mercies forever abound.
8 Men's idols of gold and of silver
Can speak not, nor hearken, nor see;
Like them shall their makers be helpless,
Unblest shall their worshipers be.
9 Ye people who worship Jehovah,
His praises with gladness proclaim;
His servants, and all ye that fear Him,
Sing praise to His glorious Name.
10 O Church of our God, sing His praises,
For with you and in you He dwells;
O sing Hallelujahs before Him,
Whose glory all praises excels.
