	PRAISE TO GOD

	1 12



	2 Loud alleluias to Thy name Angels and seraphim proclaim; Eternal praise to Thee is given By all the powers and thrones in heaven. 3 The apostles join the glorious throng; The prophets aid to swell the song; The noble and triumphant host Of martyrs make of Thee their boast.	4 The holy church in every place Throughout the world exalts Thy praise; Both heaven and earth do worship Thee, Thou Father of eternity! 5 From day to day, O Lord, do we Highly exalt and honor Thee; Thy name we worship and adore, World without end, for evermore. Tr. by John Gambold, 1754. Thomas Cottbrill, 1810

	2 Though high above all praise, Above all blessing high, Who would not fear His holy name, And laud, and magnify? [3 O for the living flame, From His own altar brought, To touch our lips, our minds inspire, And wing to heaven our thought.	4 God is our strength and song, And His salvation ours; Then be His love in Christ proclaimed With all our ransomed powers. 5 Stand up, and bless the Lord, The Lord your God adore; Stand up, and bless His glorious name, Henceforth for evermore. James Montgomery, 1825
