Praise the Savior, Now and Ever

Praise the Sav­ior now and ever;

Praise Him

all be­neath the skies;

Prostrate ly­ing

suff’ring

dy­ing

On the cross

a sac­ri­fice.

Vict’ry gain­ing

life ob­tain­ing

Now in glo­ry He doth rise.

Man’s work fail­eth

Christ’s avail­eth;

He is all our right­eous­ness;

He

our Sav­ior

has for­ev­er

Set us free from dire dis­tress.

Through His mer­it we in­her­it

Light and peace and hap­pi­ness.

Sin’s bonds sev­ered

we’re de­liv­ered

Christ has bruised the ser­pent’s head;

Death no long­er is the strong­er

Hell it­self is cap­tive led.

Christ has ris­en from death’s pri­son

O’er the tomb He light has shed.

For His favor

praise for­ev­er

Unto God the Fa­ther sing;

Praise the Sav­ior

praise Him ev­er

Son of God

our Lord and king.

Praise the Spir­it

through Christ’s mer­it

He doth us sal­va­tion bring.
