Lyics

SERVANTS of God! in joyful lays,

Sing ye the Lord Jehovah's praise;

His glorious name let all adore,

From age to age, for evermore.



Who is like God? so great, so high,

He bows Himself to view the sky;

And yet, with condescending grace,

Looks down upon the human race.



He hears the uncomplaining moan

Of those who sit and weep alone;

He lifts the mourner from the dust.

In Him the poor may safely trust.



O then, aloud, in joyful lays, 

Sing to the Lord Jehovah's praise.

His saving name let all adore,

From age to age, forever more.
