Hallelujah! Raise, O Raise

Hallelujah! raise

O raise

To our God the song of praise;

All His serv­ants join to sing

God our Sav­ior and our king.

Blessèd be for­ev­er­more

That dread name which we ad­ore;

Round the world His praise be sung

Through all lands

in ev­ery tongue.

O’er all na­tions God alone

Higher than the heav’ns His throne;

Who is like to God most high

Infinite in ma­jes­ty!

Yet to view the heav’ns He bends;

Yea

to earth He con­des­cends;

Passing by the rich and great

For the low and de­so­late.

He can raise the poor to stand

With the princ­es of the land;

Wealth up­on the needy show­er;

Set him with the high in pow­er.

He the brok­en spir­it cheers:

Turns to joy the mourn­er’s tears;

Such the won­ders of His ways;

Praise His name

for­ev­er praise!
