1 Come let us sing with the sacred throng,
Lift the heart where holy angels cry;
Wake every tongue in a joyous song,
To the Lord who reigns on high.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His Holy name!

Refrain:
Come let us sing with the sacred throng,
Lift the heart where holy angels cry;
Wake every tongue in a joyous song,
To the Lord who reigns on high.

2 Praise we the name of the mighty God;
It is He that made us by His power;
He guides His people with gentle rod,
And upholds us every hour.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His Holy name! [Refrain]

3 Sing to Jehovah, the great IAM,
For He gave His Son our souls to save;
Sing we to Jesus, the blessed Lamb,
Who redeemed us from the grave.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His Holy name! [Refrain]
