¶Lyrics / Text

1. Behold, now give heed, such as be The Lord's servants faithful and true: Come praise the Lord every degree, With such songs as to Him are due. 2. O ye that stand in the Lord's house, Even in our own God's mansion: Praise ye the Lord so bounteous, Which worketh out our salvation. 3. Lift your hands in His holy place, Yea, and that in the time of night: Praise ye the Lord that giv'th all grace, For He is a Lord of great might. 4. Then shall the Lord out of Zion Which made heav'n and earth by His pow'r: Give unto you and your nation His blessing, mercy, and favor.
