We’ll Praise the Lord, for He Is Great

lyricist: Theophilus Steward, 1898
Composer: John Layton

We’ll praise the Lord

for He is great

And in His pre­sence an­gels wait;

All Heav’n is swell­ing with His praise—

Shall we not

too

our an­thems raise?

Oh

we will praise Him

Oh

we will praise Him

Oh

we will praise His ho­ly name.

Oh

we will praise Him

Oh

we will praise Him

Oh

we will praise His ho­ly name.

We’ll praise the Lord

for He is wise;

His wis­dom shines through all the skies;

The earth He mea­sures with a span

And crowns us with His image—man.

We’ll praise the Lord

for He is just

And in Him we may ev­er trust;

Princes and kings may turn aside

But God by right will e’er abide.

We’ll praise the Lord

for He is true;

His word the same all ag­es through—

Earth

sea and sky may pass away

But firm

God’s truth will ev­er stay.

Oh

praise Him

for His name is Love

And from His glo­ri­ous throne ab­ove

He bends to wel­come our weak praise

Shall we not

then

our an­them raise?
