Representative Text

1 Praise the Lord with singing,
Keep the music ringing,
Swell the mighty chorus of the pure and the free;
Sound it o’er creation,
Waken every nation,
Let us happy children shout the grand jubilee.

Refrain:
To the Lord be grateful,
For the right be faithful,
Honor Him who gives us life and breath every day;
Sinful things denying,
Satan’s host defying,
Asking God to give us strength and grace when we pray.

2 Serve the Lord of heaven,
For His blessings given,
Bravely push the battle for the right, firmly stand;
Glory in the Savior,
Be in good behavior,
Run the Christian race and gain that heavenly land. [Refrain]
