13 With joyful heart your praises bring

1 With joyful heart your praises bring To God, the fount of blessing; His everlasting goodness sing, His holy name confessing; Our God let all creation bless; He is our aid in all distress: O bless His name for ever. 2 Praise God, who to the cross and grave Hath sent His Son from heaven; His death that did the guilty save, Eternal life hath given. He hath redeemed our souls from hell; Now before God with men doth dwell; O bless His name forever! 3 Praise God, who by His Spirit's light To faith our souls awaken: Our souls with gifts of grace and might, He strong and steadfast maketh. His word doth light our heavenward way; His grace inclines us to obey; O bless His name forever! 4 Ye mighty seraphim, your praise Still to the Lord be bringing, Let all in heaven their voices raise; Let earth break forth in singing. Whate'er hath breath shall Him adore, Him first, Him last, Him evermore: O bless His name forever!
