Sing to the Great Jehovah’s Praise

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1750
Composer: Nikolaus Herman, 1554

Sing to the great Je­ho­vah’s praise!

All praise to Him be­longs:

Who kind­ly length­ens out our days

Demands our choic­est songs.

His pro­vi­dence hath brought us through

Another va­ri­ous year:

We all with vows and an­thems new

Before our God ap­pear.

Father

Thy mer­cies past we own;

Thy still con­tin­ued care;

To Thee pre­sent­ing

through Thy Son

Whate’er we have or own.

Our lips and lives shall glad­ly show

The won­ders of Thy love

While on in Jes­u’s steps we go

To see Thy face above.

Our re­si­due of days or hours

Thine

whol­ly Thine

shall be;

And all our con­se­crat­ed pow­ers

A sa­cri­fice to be:

Till Je­sus in the clouds ap­pear

To saints on earth for­giv­en

And bring the grand Sab­bat­ic year

The ju­bi­lee of Heav’n.
