Praise the Name of Christ

lyricist: Belle Heyl, 1897
Composer: Adam Geibel

Praise the name of Christ in Heav­en

Children sing with glad ac­claim;

Praise Him du­ly

serve Him tru­ly

Spread abroad His glo­ri­ous fame;

He so king­ly

we so low­ly

We so sin­ful

He so ho­ly;

Yet He

self for­get­ting

hears us

When we call up­on His name.

Glad hal­le­lu­jahs

Joyful we bring to Je­sus our king;

Glad hal­le­lu­jahs

Be Thine for­ev­er­more;

Glad hal­le­lu­jahs

Joyful we bring to Je­sus our king;

Glad hal­le­lu­jahs

Be Thine for­ev­er­more.

Praise Him in the ear­ly morn­ing

When by rest re­freshed anew;

Nature wak­ing

praise is mak­ing

Let us hum­bly wor­ship

too;

We so fee­ble

He so glo­ri­ous

He o’er sin and death vic­tor­ious;

By the hand He kind­ly leads us

All our earth­ly jour­ney through.

Praise Him when the day is end­ing

When the weary need re­pose;

Seek His bless­ing

sin con­fess­ing

Ere in sleep the eye­lids close;

While in safe­ty we are sleep­ing

He is lov­ing vi­gil keep­ing;

Oh

ad­ore Him

kneel be­fore Him

As His child­ren

not His foes.
