Sing to the Great Jehovah's Praise
Verse 1
Sing to the great Jehovah's praise!
All praise to Him belongs;
Who kindly lengthens out our days,
Inspires our choicest songs,
Inspires our choicest songs.
All praise to Him belongs;
Who kindly lengthens out our days,
Inspires our choicest songs,
Inspires our choicest songs.
Verse 2
His providence hath brought us through
Another various year;
We all, with vows and anthems new,
Before our God appear,
Before our God appear.
Another various year;
We all, with vows and anthems new,
Before our God appear,
Before our God appear.
Verse 3
O God, Thy mercies past we own,
And Thy continued care;
To Thee presenting through Thy Son
Whate'er we have and are,
Whate'er we have and are.
And Thy continued care;
To Thee presenting through Thy Son
Whate'er we have and are,
Whate'er we have and are.
Written by Charles Wesley, this harvest and praise hymn appeared in his collection and is traditionally paired with the tune LYONS, sometimes attributed to Joseph Haydn but more accurately ascribed to his brother Johann Michael Haydn.
