Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
1. Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O earth his wonderful love proclaim!
Hail him! hail him! highest archangels in glory,
Strength and honor give to his holy name!
Like a shepherd Jesus will guard his children
In his arms he carries them all day long:
O ye Saints that dwell on Mountain of Zion
Praise him! praise him! ever in joyful song!
2. Praise him! praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
For our sins he suffered and bled and died,
He, our rock, our hope of eternal salvation
Hail him! hail him! Jesus the Crucified
Loving Saviour, meekly enduring sorrow,
Crowned with thorns that cruelly pierced His brow;
Once for us rejected, despised and forsaken
Prince of Glory, ever triumphant!
3. Praise him! praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heavenly portals loud with Hosannas ring;
Jesus Saviour, reigneth for ever and ever
Crown Him, crown Him, prophet and priest and king!
Death is vanquished, tell with joy, ye faithful!
Where is now that victory, boasting grave?
Jesus lives, no longer thy portals are cheerless
Jesus lives, the mighty and strong to save!
