Praise Ye The Lord!

Praise Ye The Lord!

“Praise ye the Lord,” again, again, The Spirit strikes the chord; Nor toucheth He our hearts in vain, We praise, we praise the Lord.
“Rejoice in Him,” again, again, The Spirit speaks the word, And faith takes up the happy strain; Our joy is in the Lord.
“Stand fast in Christ,” ah! yet again He teacheth all the band; If human efforts are in vain, In Christ it is we stand.
“Clean every whit,” Thou saidst it, Lord! Shall one suspicion lurk? Thine, surely, is a faithful word, And Thine a finished work.
For ever be the glory given To Thee, O Lamb of God! Our every joy on earth, in heaven, We owe it to Thy blood.
By Mary Bowley (1813-1856)
