Hallelujah Raise Oh Raise

{Hallelujah Raise Oh Raise

HEROLD-Composer Unknown

Hallelujah! Raise, Oh, Raise
}
Hallelujah! raise, oh, raise
To our God the song of praise:
All his servants join to sing
God our Saviour and our King.

Blessed be for evermore
That dread name which we adore:
Round the worlds his praise be sung,
Through all lands, in very tongue.

O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heavens his throne;
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty?

Yet to view the heavens he bends;
Yea, to earth he condescends;
Passing by the rich and great,
For the low and desolate.

He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower;
Set the meanest high in power.

He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonders of his ways;
Praise his name-for ever praise.
