Sing Aloud Jehovah’s Praises

lyricist: Henry Martin, 1870
Composer: Clement Scholefield, 1874

Sing aloud Je­ho­vah’s praises

Tell abroad the aw­ful name;

Heav’n the cease­less an­them raises

Let the earth her God pro­claim—

God

the hope of ev­ery na­tion

God

the source of con­so­la­tion

Holy

bless­èd Tri­ni­ty!

This the name from an­cient ag­es

Hidden in its daz­zling light;

This the name that kings and sag­es

Prayed and strove to know aright

Through God’s won­drous in­car­na­tion

Now re­vealed the world’s sal­va­tion

Ever bless­èd Tri­ni­ty!

Into this great name and ho­ly

We all tribes and tongues bap­tize;

Thus the High­est owns the low­ly

Homeward

heav’nw­ard

bids them rise

Gathers them from ev­ery na­tion

Bids them join in ad­or­ation

Of the bless­èd Tri­ni­ty!

In this name the heart re­joic­es

Pouring forth its sec­ret pray­er;

In this name we lift our voic­es

And our com­mon faith de­clare

Offering praise and sup­pli­ca­tion

And the thank­ful life’s obla­tion

To the bless­èd Tri­ni­ty!

Still Thy name o’er earth and ocean

Shall be car­ried

God is Love

Whispered by the heart’s de­vo­tion

Echoed by the choirs ab­ove

Hallowed through all worlds for­ev­er

Lord of life the on­ly giv­er

Blessèd

glo­ri­ous Tri­ni­ty!
