1  Hallelujah! raise, O raise To our God the song of praise; All His servants join to sing God our Saviour and our King. 2  Blessèd be for evermore That dread Name which we adore; Round the world His praise be sung Through all lands, in every tongue. 3  O’er all nations God alone, Higher than the heav’ns His throne; Who is like to God most high, Infinite in majesty!

4  Yet to view the heav’ns He bends; Yea, to earth He condescends; Passing by the rich and great, For the low and desolate. 5  He can raise the poor to stand With the princes of the land; Wealth upon the needy shower; Set him with the high in power. 6  He the broken spirit cheers: Turns to joy the mourner’s tears; Such the wonders of His ways; Praise His Name, forever praise!
