Wake Every Tuneful String

Wake ev­ery tune­ful string

Let ev­ery crea­ture sing

Praise ye

praise ye

Praise ye the Lord;

Maker of earth and sea

We lift our hearts to Thee

With lof­ty me­lo­dy;

Praise ye the Lord.

Great His eter­nal name

Now and for aye the same;

Praise ye

praise ye

Praise ye the Lord;

Firm as the mount­ain band

Girding the fer­tile land

His truth shall ev­er stand;

Praise ye the Lord.

He spake

and it was done

His arm the vic­to­ry won;

Praise ye

praise ye

Praise ye the Lord;

He

from se­pul­chral night

Lifting the soul to light

Crowns it with glo­ry bright;

Praise ye the Lord.

Angels around His throne

Making His won­ders known

Praise ye

praise ye

Praise ye the Lord;

O ye re­deemed on high

Down thro’ the az­ure sky

Echo the glad re­ply—

Praise ye the Lord.
