Break Forth into Praise

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1746
Composer: Charles Gabriel (1856–1932)

Break forth in­to praise! Our sure­ty and head

His mem­bers to raise

He rose from the dead;

The power of His Spir­it hath quick­ened our Lord

That we by His Spir­it may all be re­stored.

Our cap­tain and king with shouts we pro­claim

And joy­ful­ly sing the won­der­ful name;

The name all-vic­tor­ious we pub­lish

and feel

Triumphantly glo­ri­ous o’er sin

earth

and hell.

The pow’r of His ris­ing we know and de­clare

And rapt to the skies

His hap­pi­ness share;

In heav­en­ly plac­es with Je­sus we sit

And Je­sus’ prais­es with an­gels re­peat.

We sing of His love while so­journ­ing here

Till Christ from above our Sav­ior ap­pear;

The heirs of sal­va­tion with tri­umph re­ceive

In full con­sum­ma­tion of glo­ry to live.
