A Song of Praise (Kirk)

lyricist: Salathiel Kirk, 1902
Composer: Emily Wilson

The won­drous work the Lord has done

Let ev­ery voice pro­claim!

And for the work of grace be­gun

The won­drous bat­tle fought and won

Give glo­ry to His name!

We plead­ed for the Spir­it

He came in migh­ty pow­er;

We plead­ed for the drop­pings

And lo

He sent the show­er!

Unto the Lord doth praise be­long

O tell it ev­ery­where!

Let ev­ery ran­somed soul pro­long

The loud ho­san­nah of the song—

The Lord doth an­swer pray­er!

We’ll sing the pow­er of Je­sus’ name

And His aton­ing blood;

Today and ev­er­more the same

The vil­est sin­ner to re­claim

And bring Him back to God.

Let ev­ery heart and ev­ery tongue

As one unit­ed host

Praise God for what His arm hath done—

Praise God the Fa­ther

God the Son

And God the Ho­ly Ghost!
