Lyrics

O praise the Lord, ye na­tions all,
Whose eye be­holds the spar­row’s fall;
At morn and night His deeds re­call,
Who reign­eth ev­er­more.

Refrain

O praise the Lord, our migh­ty king;
Let mor­tal tongues their tri­bute bring,
While Heav’n and earth His glo­ry sing,
Who reigns ev­er­more.

He crowns each day with bless­ings new,
His gifts des­cend like ear­ly dew;
His ways are just, His sta­tutes true,
Who reign­eth ev­er­more.

Refrain

We would His good­ness glad­ly own,
And bow with re­ver­ence at His throne,
To wor­ship Him, our God alone,
Who reign­eth ev­er­more.
