Common Metre Tunes

   1  Praise God; ye servants of the Lord,
         Praise God, his name adore.
      Yea, bless�d be the name of God
         Henceforth and evermore.
   2  From rising sun to where it sets,
         God's name is to be praised.
      Above all nations God is high,
         'Bove heav'ns his glory raised.
   3  Unto the Lord our God that dwells
         On high, who can compare?
      Himself that humbleth things to see
         In heav'n and earth that are.
   4  He from the dust doth raise the poor,
         That very low doth lie;
      And from the dunghill lifts the man
         Oppressed with poverty.
   5  That he may highly him advance,
         And with the princes set;
      With those that of his people are
         The chief, ev'n princes great.
   6  The barren woman house to keep
         He maketh, and to be
      Of sons a mother full of joy.
         Praise to the Lord give ye.

Long Metre Tunes

   1  Praise God, ye servants of the Lord,
      Praise, praise his name with one accord;
      Bless ye the Lord, his name adore
      From this time forth forevermore.
   2  From rising unto setting sun,
      Praised be the Lord, the mighty one.
      O'er nations all God reigns supreme,
      Above the heavens his glories beam.
   3  O who is like the Lord, our God,
      Who makes the heavens his abode;
      Who stoops to see from his high throne
      What things in heav'n and earth are done?
   4  From dust he makes the poor to rise,
      The needy who in dunghill lies;
      That he with princes may him place,
      With princes of his chosen race.
   5  He gives the barren woman joy,
      In keeping house she finds employ,
      And children joy to her afford.
      Praise ye Jehovah; praise the Lord.
