10787. Come, Praise The Lord

1 Come praise the Lord, exalt His name,
Our Savior and our king;
’Tis meet we should His love proclaim,
And hallelujah sing.

2 The theme is high, the work is sweet;
Your harps for concert string;
’Tis blessèd thus in love to meet,
And hallelujah sing.

3 How great, how precious is His name!
How poor the praise we bring!
His people still should own His claim,
And hallelujah sing.

4 Sustained by faith, and upward borne,
As if on eagle’s wing,
We praise our Lord, forget to mourn,
And hallelujah sing.

5 A day will come, its dawn we greet,
When Heav’n itself shall ring;
When all the saints with joy shall meet,
And hallelujah sing.
