30. Come, let us raise

1 Come, let us raise
A song of praise
To him who rules on high;
Whose love and power,
From hour to hour,
Can every want supply:
The goodness of our God and King
Let all with hallelujahs sing,
Let all with hallelujahs sing.

2 His bounties flow
Where'er we go,
Abound where'er we stay;
From every snare
His gracious care
Defends by night and day:
The goodness of our God and King
Let all with hallelujahs sing,
Let all with hallelujahs sing.

3 We're traveling on,
Yet not alone,
Thro' life's dark wilderness;
Close by our side
A heavenly Guide
Is pledged for our success:
The goodness of our God and King
Let all with hallelujahs sing,
Let all with hallelujahs sing.
