Praise Him, Praise Him Lyrics

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer!

Sing, O Earth, His wonderful love proclaim!

Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory;

Strength and honor give to His holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children;

In His arms He carries them all day long!

Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness;

Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song!

 

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer!

For our sins He suffered and bled and died;

He our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation,

Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the crucified:

Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows,

Love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong:

Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness;

Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song!

 

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer!

Heavenly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever:

Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!

Christ is coming, over the world victorious,

Power and glory unto the Lord belong:

Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness;

Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song!

 

 

Original lyrics

 

The lyrics above are as they appear in most modern hymnals, but here are the lyrics as they appeared in the original hymnal Bright Jewels in 1869, where the chorus is slightly altered for all the stanzas.

 

Praise Him, praise Him—Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer,

Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim.

Hail Him! hail Him! highest archangels in glory;

Strength and honor give to His holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,

In His arms He carries them all day long:

O ye saints that dwell on the mountain of Zion,

Praise Him, praise Him ever in joyful song.

 

Praise Him, praise Him—Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer,

For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died;

He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,

Hail Him, hail Him, Jesus the Crucified.

Loving Savior, meekly enduring sorrow,

Crowned with thorns that cruelly pierced His brow;

Once for us rejected, despised and forsaken,

Prince of Glory, He is triumphant now.

 

Praise Him, praise Him—Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer,

Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring,

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever.

Crown Him! Crown Him—Prophet, and Priest, and King!

Death is vanquished! Tell it with joy, ye faithful.

Where is now thy victory, boasting grave?

Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless;

Jesus lives, the mighty and strong to save.
