O Praise Ye the Lord (Tate)

O praise ye the Lord

pre­pare your glad voice

His praise in the great as­sem­bly to sing;

In their great cre­at­or let Is­ra­el re­joice

And child­ren of Zi­on be glad in their king.

Let them His great name ex­tol in their songs

With hearts well at­tuned His prais­es ex­press;

Who always takes plea­sure to hear their glad tongues

And waits with sal­va­tion the hum­ble to bless.

With glo­ry adorned

His people shall sing

To God

who their heads with safe­ty doth shield;

Such hon­or and tri­umph His fa­vor shall bring

O there­fore for ev­er all praise to Him yield!
