Clap Your Hands, Ye People All

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1743
Composer: Ira Sankey, 1891

Clap your hands

ye peo­ple all

Praise the God on whom ye call;

Lift your voice

and shout His praise

Triumph in His sov­er­eign grace!

Glorious is the Lord most High

Terrible in ma­jes­ty;

He His sov­er­eign sway main­tains

King o’er all the earth He reigns.

Jesus is gone up on high

Takes His seat above the sky:

Shout the an­gel-choirs aloud

Echoing to the trump of God.

Sons of earth

the tri­umph join

Praise Him with the host di­vine;

Emulate the heav­en­ly pow­ers

Their vic­tor­ious Lord is ours.

Shout the God en­throned above

Trumpet forth His con­quer­ing love;

Praises to our Je­sus sing

Praises to our glo­ri­ous King!

Power is all to Je­sus giv­en

Power o’er hell

and earth

and Heav’n!

Power He now to us im­parts;

Praise Him with be­liev­ing hearts.

Wonderful in sav­ing pow­er

Him let all our hearts ad­ore;

Earth and Heav’n re­peat the cry

Glory be to God most High!
