Praise, praise ye the name of Jehovah our God;
Declare, oh, declare ye, His glories abroad;
Proclaim ye His mercy from nation to nation,
Till the uttermost islands have heard His salvation!
For His love floweth on, free and full as a river,
And His mercy endureth forever and ever.
Praise, praise ye the Lamb who for sinners was slain,
Who went down to the grave and ascended again;
And who soon shall return, when these dark days are o’er,
To set up His kingdom in glory and power;
For His love floweth on, free and full as a river,
And His mercy endureth forever and ever.
Then the heavens and the earth and the sea shall rejoice;
The field and the forest shall lift the glad voice;
The sands of the desert shall flourish in green,
And Lebanon’s glory be shed o’er the scene;
For His love floweth on, free and full as a river,
And His mercy endureth forever and ever.
Her bridal attire and her festal array,
All nature shall wear on that glorious day;
For her King cometh down with His people to reign,
And His presence shall bless her with Eden again;
For His love floweth on, free and full as a river,
And His mercy endureth forever and ever.
