Hymns of the Lutheran Church

364 Praise the Lord through every nation,

1 Praise the Lord through every nation, His holy arm hath wrought salvation; Exalt Him on His Father's throne; Praise your King, ye Christian legions, Who now prepares in heavenly regions Unfailing mansions for His own: With voice and minstrelsy, Extol His majesty; Hallelujah! His praise shall sound all nature round, Where'er the race of man is found. 2 God with God dominion sharing, And man with man our image bearing, Gentiles and Jews to Him are given; Praise your Savior, ransomed sinners, Of life, through Him, immortal winners. No longer heirs of earth, but heaven; O beatific sight! To view His face in light! Hallelujah! And while we see, transformed to be From bliss to bliss eternally! 3 Jesus, Lord, our captain glorious! O'er sin and death and hell victorious; Wisdom and might to Thee belong. We confess, proclaim, adore Thee; We bow the knee, we fall before Thee; Thy love henceforth shall be our song: The cross meanwhile we bear; The crown e'er long to wear; Hallelujah! Thy reign extend, world without end Let praise from all to Thee ascend.
