Praise the Lord Through Every Nation

lyricist: James Montgomery, 1828
Composer: Philip Nicolai, 1599

Praise the Lord through ev­ery na­tion;

His ho­ly arm hath wrought sal­va­tion;

Exalt Him on His Fa­ther’s throne;

Praise your king

ye Christ­ian le­gions

Who now pre­pares in heav’n­ly re­gions

Unfailing man­sions for His own;

With voice and min­strel­sy

Extol His ma­jes­ty: Al­le­lu­ia!

His praise shall sound all na­ture round

Where’er the race of man is found.

God with God do­min­ion shar­ing

And Man with man our im­age bear­ing

Gentile and Jew to Him are giv­en;

Praise your Sav­ior

ran­somed sin­ners

Of life

through Him

im­mor­tal win­ners;

No long­er heirs of earth

but Heav­en.

O bea­ti­fic light

To view His face in light; Al­le­luia!

And

while we see

trans­formed to be

From bliss to bliss eter­nal­ly.

Jesus

Lord

our cap­tain glo­ri­ous

O’er sin

and death

and hell vic­tor­ious

Wisdom and might to Thee be­long:

We con­fess

pro­claim

adore Thee

We bow the knee

we fall be­fore Thee

Thy love hence­forth shall be our song:

The cross mean­while we bear

The crown ere long to wear. Al­le­lu­ia!

Thy reign ex­tend world with­out end

Let praise from all to Thee as­cend.
