Ex-alt the Lord, His praise pro-claim,
All ye His ser-vants, praise His name,
Who in the Lord's house ev-er stand
And hum-bly serve at His com-mand.
The Lord is good, His praise pro-claim;
Since it is pleas-ant, praise His name;
His peo-ple for His own He takes
And His pe-cu-liar trea-sure makes.
I know the Lord is high in state,
A-bove all gods our Lord is great;
The Lord per-forms what He de-crees,
In heaven and earth, in depth and seas,
He makes the va-pors to as-scend
In clouds from earth's re-mot-est end;
The light-nings flash at His com-mand;
He holds the tem-pest in His hand.
Ex-alt the Lord, His praise pro-claim;
All ye His ser-vants praise His name,
Who in the Lord's house ev-er stand
And hum-bly serve at His com-mand.
For-ev-er praise and bless His name,
And in the church His praise pro-claim;
In Zi-on is His dwell-ing place;
Praise ye the Lord, show forth His grace.
