1. Behold, now give heed, such as be
The Lord's servants faithful and true:
Come praise the Lord every degree,
With such songs as to Him are due.
2. O ye that stand in the Lord's house,
Even in our own God's mansion:
Praise ye the Lord so bounteous,
Which worketh out our salvation.
3. Lift your hands in His holy place,
Yea, and that in the time of night:
Praise ye the Lord that giv'th all grace,
For He is a Lord of great might.
4. Then shall the Lord out of Zion
Which made heav'n and earth by His pow'r:
Give unto you and your nation
His blessing, mercy, and favor.
