1. 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; 2. 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: 3. Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Heav'nly 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, Pow'r and glory unto the Lord belong: Chorus: Praise Him! praise Him! tell of His excellent greatness! Praise Him! praise Him! ever in joyful song!
