Praise the Lord with hearts and voices,
Gathered in His holy name;
Every quickened soul rejoices,
Hearing of the Saviour’s fame.
Praise the living God who gave us,
Lost and ruined as we lay,
His beloved Son to save us,
Bearing all our sins away.
Praise the Lord for all His guiding,
Snares so thickly round us lie;
We in His own light abiding,
Are directed by His eye.
Praise Him for His long forbearance;
How our sins His heart must pain;
Righteous in His loving kindness,
Cleansing us from every stain.
Praise Him, enemies assail us,
As we through the desert go;
But His Sword can never fail us,
It shall silence every foe.
Praise Him for the manna given,
Falling freshly every day;
Jesus Christ, our Lord from heaven,
Is our food through all the way.
Praise Him through the desert marching,
Onward to the golden shores;
For our Saviour we are watching,
And we’ll praise Him evermore.
