Hymns of the Lutheran Church

23 Praise ye Jehovah, praise the Lord most holy

1 Praise ye Jehovah, praise the Lord most holy, Who cheers the contrite, girds with strength the weak; Praise Him who will with glory crown the lowly, And with salvation beautify the meek. 2 Praise ye the Lord for all His loving kindness, And all the tender mercies He hath shown; Praise Him who pardons all our sin and blindness, And calls us sons, and takes us for His own. 3 Praise ye Jehovah, source of every blessing; Before His gifts, earth's richest boons are dim; Resting in Him, His peace and joy possessing, All things are ours, for we have all in Him. 4 Praise ye the Father, God the Lord who gave us, With full and perfect love, His only Son; Praise ye the Son who died Himself to save us; Praise ye the Spirit, praise the Three in One!
