Exalt the Lord, His Praise Proclaim

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: Franz Haydn, 1798

Exalt the Lord

His praise pro­claim;

All ye His serv­ants

praise His name

Who in the Lord’s house ev­er stand

And hum­bly serve at His com­mand.

The Lord is good

His praise pro­claim;

Since it is plea­sant

praise His name;

His peo­ple for His own He takes

And His pe­cul­iar trea­sure makes.

I know the Lord is high in state

Above all gods our Lord is great;

The Lord per­forms what He de­crees

In Heav­en and earth

in depths and seas.

He makes the va­pors to as­cend

In clouds from earth’s re­mot­est end;

The light­nings flash at His com­mand

He holds the tem­pest in His hand.

Exalt the Lord

His praise pro­claim;

All ye His serv­ants

praise His name

Who in the Lord’s house ev­er stand

And hum­bly serve at His com­mand

Forever praise and bless His name

And in the church His praise pro­claim;

In Zi­on is His dwell­ing place;

Praise ye the Lord

show forth His grace.
