Hymn Text
Verse 1
O praise, my soul, the Lord
O glorify his name,
In him my spirit thrills with joy,
My Saviour and my God.
Verse 2
From heav'n he gazed on me,
His lowly servant-maid,
Behold, all ages yet to come
Shall call me blest of God!
Verse 3
The Lord with wondrous pow'r
Has done great things for me,
For ever blessed be his name,
Who is the Holy One!
Verse 4
His mercy he reveals
To those who fear his name,
From age to age his steadfast love
Shall endlessly endure!
Verse 5
His arm is strong to save,
He scatters all the proud;
He casts the mighty from their thrones,
He raises up the meek.
Verse 6
He fills the hungry poor
With blessings from above,
The rich he strips of wealth and pow'r,
And empty sends away.
Verse 7
His mighty hand has grasped
The hand of lsrael,
His servant-son, beloved of him
With never-failing love!
Verse 8
Now is his promise kept,
Once made to Abraham
That in his seed should man be blest
For all eternity!
Verse 9
O Father, fount of joy,
Your glory I adore.
O loving Spirit, praise be yours,
Who gave me God, my Son!
