Lift Up to God the Voice of Praise

Lift up to God the voice of praise

Whose breath our souls in­spired;

Loud and more loud the an­them raise

With grate­ful ar­dor fired.

Lift up to God the voice of praise

Whose ten­der care sus­tains

Our fee­ble frame

en­com­passed round

With death’s un­num­bered pains.

Lift up to God the voice of praise

Whose good­ness

pass­ing thought

Loads ev­ery minute

as it flies

With be­ne­fits un­sought.

Lift up to God the voice of praise

From whom sal­va­tion flows;

Who sent His Son our souls to save

From ev­er­last­ing woes.

Lift up to God the voice of praise

For hope’s trans­port­ing ray

Which lights through dark­est shades of death

To realms of end­less day.
