Praise, Praise His Name

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1889
Composer: John Sweney

On the de­sert mount­ain stray­ing

Far

far from home

Heard I there a sweet voice

say­ing

Why wilt Thou roam?

’Twas my bless­èd Lord that sought me

Out of sin to grace He brought me

Oh the glad

new song He taught me

Praise

praise His name.

At a throne of mer­cy kneel­ing

Sad and op­pressed

Came that voice

to me re­veal­ing

Hope

life and rest.

Oft I heard that voice re­peat­ing

I am the Way.

Tarry not

the hours are fleet­ing

Come

come to­day.

When from glo­ry un­to glo­ry

My flight shall be

Still I’ll sing the pre­cious sto­ry

Savior

of Thee.
